Instructions

1

Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees. Mix your soy sauce and balsamic vinegar together in a bowl. Add your steaks to the bowl and make sure they have a good covering of the marinade. Cover and leave until it’s time to cook them. Tip: If you have longer to marinate the steaks that is even better but don’t worry if not!

Roast your potato wedges
2

Cut your potatoes into wedge shaped pieces roughly the width of your index finger. Pull the rosemary leaves off their stalks and chop them finely. Put your potatoes on a baking tray with 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1/4 tsp of salt, a good grind of pepper and your finely chopped rosemary. Give the tray a good toss to make sure the potatoes have a good coating of oil and pop your tray in the oven on the top shelf for 30 mins, until the potatoes are brown and crispy.

Slice your cabbage
3

Cut your onion in half through the root, peel and slice it thinly into half moon shapes. Cut out the tough rooty bit of your cabbage and slice a third of it into roughly ½cm slices.

4

Add 1 tbsp of oil to a saucepan and put it on a medium heat. Add your onion and cook for 5 mins until soft. Pop your mustard seeds in the pan and when they start to pop (after about 20 seconds or so), add your red cabbage and cook for a further 5 mins.

Cook your cabbage
5

When the red cabbage has softened, add your white wine vinegar, sugar, 1/4 tsp of salt and a good grind of pepper. Stir everything together, put a lid on the pan and cook for 5 mins on a low heat. After the 5 mins are up, take the lid of the pan and cook uncovered for an additional 5 mins.

Cook your steaks
6

Add 1 tbsp of oil to a frying pan on a medium heat and when the pan is hot, add your steaks (leave the excess marinade in the bowl, you need to use this later!). Cook the steaks for 3-4 mins on each side and then remove to a board to rest for 3 mins. Tip: We like our steak medium but if you want it more well done, simply cook it for 2 more mins on each side.

7

Add the marinade you left behind to the pan, along with your redcurrant jelly and 75ml of water. Tip: Use a spoon to break up the jelly so it melts into the sauce. When the sauce has bubbled for 2-3 mins and it is lovely and smooth, take it off the heat.

8

Cut your steak into 2cm slices and serve it with a drizzle of sauce, your potato wedges and a good spoonful of red cabbage. Voila!
