There is nothing more British than Steak and Chips. Add a few vegetables, and you have a healthy nutritious dinner.

Prep time: 30  min
Cook time: 1 hour 0 min

Total time: 1 hour 30 min
Number of Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients:

Rump Steak (fat removed), 1 per person

500g Red potatoes, skins on, cut into chips

6 Shallots, peeled, left whole

Chestnut Mushrooms, peeled and left whole (amount is up to you)

BBQ Fry Light

Regular Fry Light

Salt & Pepper

Method:

• Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 200 degrees Electric
• Wash the potatoes, cut them into chips, rinse and par-boil in salted water for about 5 minutes
• Lay the potato chips on a baking tray that has been sprayed with BBQ fry light and seasoned with salt and pepper.
• Add a little more BBQ fry light to the chips, add the shallots to the tray and season it all with a little more salt and pepper, then place in the oven to cook for around 45 minutes.

Alternatively, use a health fryer to make chips without the fuss!

• When the chips are about 20 minutes or so from finishing, spray a frying pan with fry light and heat until hot.
• Add the steaks, season with salt and pepper and cook according to preference (approx 5 minutes each side for rare, 7 minutes for medium, 12 minutes for well done). Season again when you turn the steaks over.
• Add the mushrooms when you turn the steaks over and let them cook in any of the steak juices that are in the pan.
• When the steaks are done to your liking, remove from the pan and let rest for about 3 to 4 minutes. Leave the mushrooms to carry on cooking.
• Serve with your choice of vegetables, or, as we did, with some steamed pak choi and asparagus and some leftover vegetable chow mein that we warmed through.

Beef in Oyster Sauce with Sesame Spinach

Beef in Oyster sauce is a classic Chinese dish, but we serve it here with whole slices of pan fried beef, rather than stir fried strips, which we hope you will enjoy. Served with Spinach than is finished with a small amount of Sesame oil and you have a wonderfully tasty and authentic Chinese meal!

Leftover Macaroni Bolognese Frittata

Do you habitually throw food away you couldn't physically eat any more of? We never ever throw anything away, or very rarely, as you can turn almost any leftovers into another quick meal, in our case, lunch.

See how we turned a simple macaroni bolognese into today's lunch.....
