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.
