Mini Rustic Steak Sandwiches

July 08

The right bread makes all the difference here – chewy, crispy ciabatta is perfect. If you don’t fancy making your own aïoli, you can cheat by smashing a garlic clove with the back of a knife until you have a smooth paste and then mix it with a little store-bought mayonnaise.

 

  • serves Serves 2
  • time 15 mins

Method

  1. 1. Season the steaks generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  2. 2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and fry the steaks for 2–3 minutes on each side. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil and allow them time to rest.
  3. 3. Once rested, slice the steaks thinly, toss in the juices that have run off and season with salt.
  4. 4. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the aïoli on the ciabatta halves, adding a little rocket, red onion, juicy steak slices and topping with the other ciabatta halves. Enjoy!

4 tbsp garlic aïoli

2 small ciabattas, cut in half

Spatchcocked Buffalo Chicken with Rosemary Roast Chips and Red Cabbage Coleslaw

September 02

This is a proper beast of a weekend meal, ideal for a crowd! The buffalo sauce can be used on chicken wings. The coleslaw mix makes quite a lot, but will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge. If you want you can skip the step of blanching your potato chips in boiling water, but this will result in less fluffy insides.
