To make the potatoes, rinse the potato pieces under cold water and then bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the bicarbonate of soda and a generous pinch of salt. Add the hard garlic and rosemary or thyme along with the potatoes and boil for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are just starting to break down.

Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Pour the oil or fat into a roasting tray and heat it in the oven for 5 minutes until shimmering hot.

Drain the potatoes well and let them sit in the colander for 2 minutes to steam-dry. Gently shake the colander to roughen the edges - this helps create crisp, golden crusts.

Carefully add the potatoes, herbs and garlic to the hot tray - they should sizzle. Toss to coat in the fat, then roast for 35-45 minutes, turning once or twice, until deep golden brown and crisp. Season with sea salt and serve hot.

To make the steaks, pat them dry with kitchen paper then coat generously with the oil and massage into the meat to form a paste.

Preheat your grill or heavy-based pan to high.

Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 5-6 minutes for medium.

Remove from heat and rest the steaks for the same time they were cooked. Optional: Flash in a hot oven (1-2 minutes) before slicing and serving. Top with butter, if desired.
