Date night dinner

Mashed potato pre cheese

Post baked mash

Steak & tomatoes

Ingredients:

Serves 2 | 45 mins - 1 hour prep time and cook | Approx 600 calories per serve

• 2 Steaks of your choice (I am using rump medallions 150g each)

• 4 medium sized potatoes

• 1 tsp Dijon mjustard

• Salt and Pepper

• 50g butter

• Green beans

• Handful of cherry tomatoes

• Bisto gravy (cheats version all the way!)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare your potatoes and get your steak out to room temperature

• Peel your potatoes and cut into medium sized chunks

• Put in a pan of salted water and boil until soft

Step 2: Prepare your greens

• Wash and cut the ends of your beans off and put in a pan ready to boil at the end, you can also use the microwave or steamer

Step 3: Cook your steak

• Season your steak

• Put oil in the pan and turn on a high heat

• Fry your steak for 3 minutes each side, turning once for rare, or a couple of times for medium cooked

• Add in cherry tomatoes into the pan for a couple of minutes

• Once your steak is cooked to your liking take off the heat and put on a plate to rest, covering loosely in foil

Step 4: Finish the mash

• Drain the boiled potatoes

• Pop 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard, knob of butter, salt and pepper and mash until really creamy, you can also add milk to loosen.

• In a baking tray (grease the bottom with butter to avoid sticking), pour the mash in and smooth over (as pictured above)

• Add grated cheese all over and put under the grill until bubbling brown

• At the same time get your green beans on to cook

• Take the baked mashed potato out and leave to cool

Step 5: Make the gravy and serve

• Boil the kettle and put your bisto in a jug ready to serve, add in the meat juices

• Plate up your steaks, cherry tomatoes and green beans

• Once cooled, put the heart shaped cutter on to make the heart shape and cut the mash into 4 pieces, and use a spatula to serve it

• Enjoy!
