  2. Heat the sunflower oil in a non-stick pan and fry the steaks according to preference (3-4 minutes on each side approx). Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  3. Add the creme fraiche, milk, one or two tablespoons of the parsley pesto and the tomatoes, if using. Simmer gently for a couple of minutes.
