Matured Steak and Dauphinoise Potatoes

Once the potatoes are drained, lay half the potato slices in an appropriately sized ovenproof dish. Set aside. Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, 5-6 mins. Add half the garlic and cook for a minute. Pour in the water (see ingredients for amount), stock powder and creme fraiche. Bring to the boil pour onto the potatoes in the dish. Arrange the remaining potatoes on top. Bake the gratin in the oven until the potatoes are cooked through and top is golden, 25-30 mins.

10 mins before the gratin is cooked, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, lay the steaks in the pan and brown for a minute on each side. Lower the heat slightly and cook for another 1-2 mins on each side for medium rare. TIP: Cook for 1-2 mins more if you like it more cooked. IMPORTANT: The steak is safe to eat when the outside is browned. Set aside to a plate to rest wrapped in foil. Don't wash your pan, you need it later for your sauce.

Heat a drizzle of oil in another frying pan on medium high heat. Add the green beans, season with salt and pepper and stir fry for 2 mins then add the remaining garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 min. Add a splash of water, cover with foil and cook for 3-4 mins, until just tender.

While the beans cook, add the water (see ingredients for amounts) to the now empty steak frying pan with the red wine jus paste over medium high heat. Stir to dissolve, bring to the boil then simmer for 1-2 mins. Add a splash of water and the steak resting juices to loosen if you like.
