In Mimi’s house, steak is worth its weight in gold along with horse racing and chocolate. The thing is her whole family loves their steak super rare, or blue as the French say. So much so, that her mum doesn’t even really know how to cook a steak well done! But don’t worry, however you like your steak cooked, this recipe will taste sensational.

Instructions

1

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

Roast wedges.
2

Chop the potato into wedge shaped pieces (no need to peel), roughly the width of your index finger. Pull the rosemary leaves off their stalks and chop the leaves finely. Put your potato wedges on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, add a pinch of salt, a good grind of black pepper and your rosemary. Give your tray a good shake to make sure your wedges have a thorough coating of olive oil, then pop your tray in your oven on the top shelf for 30 mins, until your wedges are brown and crispy.

Cut cabbage.
3

Cut the onion in half through the root, peel and slice it thinly into half moon shapes. Cut and discard the tough rooty bit of the red cabbage, then slice it into roughly ½cm slices

Cook cabbage.
4

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

5

When your cabbage has softened, add the white wine vinegar, a sprinkle of sugar (if you have some), a pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Stir everything together, put a lid on the pan and cook for 5 mins on low heat. After the 5 mins are up, take the lid off the pan and cook uncovered for an additional 5 mins.

Cook steak.
6

Add a splash of oil to a frying pan on medium heat and when the pan is hot, add your steak (leave any excess marinade in the bowl, you’ll use this later!). Cook your steak 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

Turn the heat down to low and add your remaining marinade to the pan, along with the redcurrant jelly and the water (as specified in the ingredient list). Tip: Use a spoon to break up the jelly so it melts into the sauce. When your sauce has bubbled for 2-3 mins and it’s lovely and smooth, take it off the heat.

8

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