Steak and Onion with Salt and Pepper Potato Wedges

2021-01-07 09:38

The local CO-OP sometimes has steak reduced - not necessarily brilliant cuts, but certainly good enough.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I love Peppercorn Sauce so serve up with the food absolutely drowning in it - you can of course use a little less if you like.

Done correctly, the wedges will come out juicy with a nice pepper tang to them

  1. Set the oven preheating to 200c
  2. Remove the steaks from their packaging and put on the side to come up to room temperature
  3. Wash the potatoes
  4. Peel the onion and then cut into thick slices
  5. Cut the potatoes into thick wedges
  6. Put the potatoes into a roasting tin or casserole dish
  7. Drizzle olive oil over them
  8. Grind copius amounts of black pepper over the wedges

  18. Once they're starting to soften, either make room for the steaks, or move the onions to another pan
  19. Put the steaks into the pan
  20. Wait 30 seconds and then turn them to sear the other side
  21. Cook for 6 minutes (to get medium-rare), turning once half way through (use a timer on your phone)

  23. Serve the steaks onto a plate, add the onions, and then the wedges, finally pour hot peppercorn sauce over the steaks
