Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Scrub the potatoes and slice them into chips as thick as your little finger. Pop the chips in a roasting tin and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Slide the into the oven to roast for 15 mins.

After the chips have roasted for 15 mins, remove the tray from the oven. Add in the shallots and toss together. Return to the oven for 20 mins, till the chips and shallots are tender and golden.

While the chips cook, fill a pan with boiling water and return to the boil. Measure out 100ml boiling water in a jug and stir in half of the stock cube. Peel and finely grate the garlic clove. Pick the thyme leaves off the woody sprigs. Stir the garlic and thyme into the stock.

Put a frying pan on a high heat for 2-3 mins till it’s smoking hot. Rub the onglet steaks with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the steaks to the pan and fry for 10-12 mins, turning every couple of minutes, till well browned on the outside. Add a couple more mins to the cooking time if you prefer your steak cooked to medium.
