Method

  1. Roast vegetables

    • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan and line a tray with baking paper.
    • Slice the potatoes into wedges (skins on).
    • Deseed and slice the red pepper into quarters.
    • Peel away the husk or outer layer of the corn and discard.
    • Using foil or baking paper, create an open parcel for the corn, and add the butter, a small splash of water, and the lemon pepper seasoning.
    • Add all the vegetables to the baking tray with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
    • Roast for 35-40 min until the vegetables are cooked through.

  2. Marinate prawns

    • Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the garlic.
    • Pick and finely chop the parsley.
    • In a bowl, combine a small drizzle of olive oil, garlic, fajita seasoning, smoked paprika, half the parsley (reserving the rest for the sauce), and a good pinch of cajun spice (spicy!).
    • Add the prawns and mix to combine.
    • Set aside to marinate.

  3. Fry steak

    • Pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper.
    • Rub with oil and season with salt.
    • Heat a large pan over high heat. Once very hot, fry the steaks for 2-4 min on each side until cooked as preferred.
    • Transfer the steaks to a plate and leave to rest. Season generously with pepper, and cover with foil to keep warm.
    • Discard most of the oil in the pan, but reserve some to fry the prawns.

  4. Fry prawns

    • Fry the prawns for 2-3 min until mostly cooked through.
    • Set aside on a plate, and reserve the pan.

  5. Make sauce

    • Slice the lime in half.
    • Add the cream cheese, measured water, and cook the sauce until thickened.
    • Add the prawns to the sauce, and cook for 1-2 min further to warm through.
    • Stir in the remaining parsley.
    • Add a small squeeze of lime juice to taste.

  6. Serve

    • Being careful, cut the corn in half using a sharp knife.
    • Serve the Surf 'n' Turf with the Roasted Vegetables and Corn on the side.
