Trim the tough sinew from the sirloin steak and cut the fat into small chunks to render down.

Cook the steak in its own fat in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Season the steak with black pepper and sea salt.

Add a couple of cloves of garlic (skin on) to the pan to flavor the fat.

Cook the steak for about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting for personal preference.

In the same pan, add halved red chilies and trimmed spring onions to char and flavor the steak juices.

In a blender, combine the charred chilies, spring onions, garlic (skin removed), half a bunch of parsley, and half a jar of jarred roasted red peppers.

Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar to the blender and blend until smooth.

Let the steak rest on top of the spring onions, spoon some steak fat over it to keep it moist.

Slice the steak against the grain into half-centimeter thick pieces and serve with the chimichurri sauce and smashed sweet potato.
