Yes, you can have steak and chips on the Fast 800! Only here, the chips are made from celeriac, to keep the starchy carbs low.
- 2 large tomatoes, halved
- 4 × 200g beef steaks, such as rump or sirloin
- 2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive or canola oil
- 3 large flat or Portobello mushrooms, sliced
For the celeriac chips
- 750g celeriac, peeled and cut into 1–1.5cm-thick ‘chips’ (around 575g peeled weight)
- 1 tbsp olive or canola oil
COOK’S TIPS
Cut off and discard any fat before eating.
- 1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/Gas 7.
- 2. Place the celeriac chips in a bowl, add the oil, a couple of pinches of flaked sea salt and lots of ground black pepper, and toss them well together. Scatter over a large baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.
- 3. Remove the chips from the oven and turn them. Place the tomatoes on the same tray, cut side up, season and bake for a further 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened.
- 4. Meanwhile, season the steaks on both sides with a little flaked sea salt and the ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the steaks and fry for about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Divide the steaks between 4 warmed plates and leave to rest for 4–5 minutes.
- 5. Meanwhile, return the pan to the heat, add the sliced mushrooms and fry for 2–3 minutes, or until lightly browned, turning regularly.
- 6. Serve the steak, mushrooms, chips and tomatoes with a generous green side salad or cooked leafy greens.
