Ingredients

• 2 steaks
• 500g potatoes
• 100ml milk
• 40g butter
• 250g green beans
• 1 batch gravy, homemade or packet
• 1 tbsp oil, plus salt and pepper

Method

1. Make the mash:
   Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, drain well, then mash with the milk and butter. Season and keep warm.
2. Cook the steak:
   Pat the steaks dry and season generously. Sear in a very hot pan or cook on a hot grill until done to your liking. Rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
3. Finish the beans:
   Boil the beans in salted water until just tender, then drain. Add them to the steak pan and sear briefly so they pick up the browned flavour.
4. Make the gravy:
   Use the pan juices for a homemade gravy, or prepare a packet gravy. Serve generously over the steak and mash.

Tips

• Letting the steak rest keeps it juicy and gives you time to finish the beans and gravy.
• For a richer mash, add extra butter or replace some of the milk with cream.
