STEAK WITH SPRING VEGETABLES
Daylight savings is here and it’s time to bring out the BBQ or at least the steak. We love this easy mid-week sirloin with spring vegetables and mustard sauce.
Method
To make the sauce, whisk grated garlic, mustard, vinegar, honey, cayenne, ⅓ cup oil and 1 tablespoon of water in a medium bowl to combine. Season this to taste and then set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the potatoes and cover with water, bring to a boil then simmer for 15-20 mins or until just cooked. Drain well then add the butter to coat and season to taste, place to one side.
Heat a dry medium-sized skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat.
Rub steak all over with 1 tablespoon of oil, season well and cook, turning every 2 mins or so, making sure to get colour on the fat cap, until medium-rare: about 10 mins. Transfer steak to a plate to rest.
Pour off oil from skillet, leaving crispy bits behind.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the same skillet over a low heat.
Add the sliced garlic and all but 2 tablespoons spring onions (save those for serving) and cook, stirring often, until translucent and softened: about 3 mins.
Add peas and a splash of water and cook, stirring and mashing to break up slightly, until peas are tender: about 5 mins.
Add asparagus, season to taste. Cook, stirring often, until asparagus is just tender: about 5 mins. Remove from heat.
Slice steak and lay over vegetables in skillet.
Drizzle some mustard sauce over steak and top with reserved scallions.
Serve with remaining mustard sauce alongside.
