Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds frozen green beans
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 4 steaks each about 1/3 lb
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 15 ounces mushrooms drained
  • 3 sprigs rosemary
  • 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • ciabatta bread to serve

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Cook the beans in boiling salted water for 4-5 mins. Drain and rinse under cold water. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the steaks for about 3 mins, until brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and bake for about 10 mins.
  • Meanwhile, to make the sauce, add 1 tbsp of the butter to the frying pan, add the mushrooms and 1 stem of rosemary and cook for about 3 mins. Deglaze the pan with vinegar and stock and simmer for 2-3 mins. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and add to the sauce, stirring until thickened and smooth.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a pan and saute the onions until transparent. Add the green beans and sprinkle with the remaining rosemary leaves. Cook for 3-4 mins. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Arrange the steaks and green beans on serving plates and top with sauce. Serve with ciabatta bread.
