Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. Cut eggplant into small chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano, then season with salt. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
• Meanwhile, slice lemon into wedges. Finely chop garlic and onion.
• When the veggies have 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Season premium fillet steak with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, sear steak until browned, 1 minute on all sides. • Transfer steak to a second lined oven tray and roast for 8-10 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. • Remove tray from oven, then set steak aside to rest for 10 minutes.
• While the steak is roasting, return the pan to low heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic and the butter and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat, then stir through basil pesto until well combined. Season to taste and stir through any steak resting juices. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, add a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. • Add rocket leaves, season to taste and toss to coat.
• Slice seared fillet steak. Divide steak, zesty rocket and oregano roasted veggies between plates. • Spoon pesto butter sauce over steak. • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The pesto butter sauce was a highlight for many reviewers, and the roasted eggplant and vegetables were well received.
- Ease of prep: The recipe is straightforward, though one reviewer suggested extending the oven roasting time for the steak slightly to ensure it is cooked to your liking.
- Suggestions: Consider cooking the steak on the barbecue as an alternative to the oven method, as one reviewer found this gave great results; adding cashew nuts to the rocket salad was suggested for extra crunch.
- Cooking the steak: One reviewer found that using the pesto on its own, without making it into a butter sauce, worked very well as a simpler alternative.
