Ingredients you'll need
  • 4 large potatoes
  • 4 parsnips
  • 6 tbsp polenta
  • 400g cavolo nero
  • A handful of rosemary, leaves only
  • 2 garlic clove
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 lemon
  • 4 beef centre cut steaks
  • 4 eggs
From your kitchen
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-3 tbsp cold water
You'll need
  • Roasting tin
  • Frying pan
  • Medium pan
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Scrub the potatoes and parsnips (no need to peel them), and slice both into thick chips. Scatter the chips into a large roasting tin. Dust with 3 tbsp polenta and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour over 1 tbsp olive oil and toss to coat. Slide the chips into the oven and roast for 40 mins, turning halfway.

  • 2.

    Trim any dry ends off the cavolo nero and thinly slice the leaves. Pick the rosemary leaves and finely chop them. Slide the rosemary into a small bowl and pop to one side.

  • 3.

    Peel the garlic and grate it into a small bowl. Add 1 tbsp Dijon mustard and a little salt and pepper. Juice in half the lemon and stir well.

  • 4.

    When the chips have 10 mins left, pour 1 tbsp olive oil into a frying pan and warm till smoking hot. Rub the steaks with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add the steaks. Fry for 2-3 mins on each side for pink middles, or 1-2 mins longer if you prefer your steaks more well done. When the steaks are cooked, pop them onto a warm plate, loosely cover with foil and set them aside to rest.

  • 5.

    While the steaks cook, pour 1 tbsp olive oil into a medium pan and warm it to a medium heat. Add the cavolo nero and 2-3 tbsp cold water. Fry for 4-5 mins, stirring, till the leaves are tender. Pour in the garlic and mustard mixture and stir through. Take off the heat and set aside.

  • 6.

    While the steaks are resting, pop the empty frying pan back on a medium heat. Crack in the eggs and fry them for 3-4 mins, till the yolks and whites are set to your liking.

  • 7.

    Sprinkle the rosemary over the chips and divide them between a couple of plates. Add the steaks and top each with a fried egg. Serve with the mustard greens on the side.
