Method
- Boil the potatoes in a large pan of water for 8-10 mins until almost tender. Drain well and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. Put all the ingredients in a jug with 3 tbsp water and whisk together, adding another 1 tbsp water, if needed, to get a drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside.
- Brush the steaks with a little oil and sprinkle over half the ground black pepper. Heat a griddle or frying pan over a high heat and cook the steaks for 3-4 mins each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a warm plate, cover and leave to rest while you prepare the salad.
- Halve the potatoes and put in a bowl with the red peppers. Add the oil and remaining black pepper and toss to coat. Transfer to the hot griddle or frying pan and cook for 4-5 mins on a high heat, turning occasionally, until tender and charred (you may need to do this in 2 batches).
- Pile the watercress onto a serving platter. Thinly slice the steaks and add to the platter with the potatoes and red peppers. Drizzle over some of the dressing and serve the rest on the side.
