    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Place carrots and beetroot on a baking tray. Spray with oil and cook for 20-25 minutes. Place potatoes in lightly salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until tender. Drain, crush roughly and keep warm in pan.

    2 While vegetables are cooking, make topping. Heat oil in a pan and cook onion and mushrooms with mixed herbs until softened. Add mustard with stock and half the watercress. Cook until watercress has wilted. Stir in sour cream and remaining watercress and heat through. Keep warm.

    3 Season steak with freshly ground black pepper and cook to your liking (see tip). Serve steaks topped with sauce, potatoes and vegetables.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free stock and check mustard is gluten free.

    Step by step: Cooking the perfect steak

    Step 1 Bring steak to room temperature. Heat a pan or barbecue until hot.

    Step 2 Spray steak with oil, then cook on a high heat. Season with pepper while one side is cooking. Cook each side to your liking, turning once with tongs.

    Step 3 Turn steak on its side to seal sides.

    Cooking guidelines (for a steak 4cm in thickness):

    • For a rare steak, cook each side for 1 1/2 minutes
    • For a medium steak, cook each side for 2 1/2–3 minutes

    Once cooked, rest steak for 5 minutes before serving so juices are reabsorbed.
