About the recipe

This is a classic way to embrace any of those fantastic secret cuts of steak. For great results, cook your chosen steak hard and fast in a hot pan and preferably medium-rare, or possibly medium, but any more than that and it’ll tighten and become chewy. With homemade wedge chips, garlicky green beans and a creamy mushroom sauce on the side, you know this has got Saturday night written all over it.
