Cooking Steps

Bake the fries
1

• See ‘Top Steak Tips!’ (below left).
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut 
potato into fries. 
• Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive 
oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. 
Bake until just tender, 20-25 minutes.
• In the last 5 minutes of cook time, remove from 
oven, sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and bake until 
golden and crispy. 


TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide fries between 
two trays.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice tomato.
• In a medium bowl, combine paprika spice blend, 
a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add beef
rump and toss to coat. 

Cook the Plant-Based  Crumbed  Chicken
3

• When the fries have 15 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • Cook plant-based crumbed chicken until golden and heated through, 2-3 minutes on each side. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Toast the sourdough
4

• Toast or grill sliced sourdough to your liking.

Toss the salad
5

• In a second medium bowl, combine mixed salad 
leaves with a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. 
Season to taste. 

Finish & serve

• Spread half the sourdough slices with garlic aioli, 
then top with salad leaves, tomato, plant-based crumbed chicken and basil pesto. Top with remaining slices of sourdough.
• Serve with cheesy fries and remaining aioli. Enjoy!
