Method

step 1
Heat the oil in a pan. Fry steak for 2 mins on each side until brown. Remove steak to a plate, then throw the onion, garlic and oregano into the pan. Fry for 5 mins until starting to turn golden.
step 2
Tip the wine and tomatoes into the pan, then simmer for 10 mins until thickened and rich. Slice the steak into chunks, return to the pan with any juices, then simmer for a few mins to reheat. Serve with pasta, chips or some fried potatoes.

RECIPE TIPS

THINK AHEAD

Plan your meals so that you can recycle your leftovers, for instance cook extra boiled potatoes one night and use them in a frittata the next day.

SHOPPING FOR ONE

It’s often cheaper to buy meat, chicken and fish in larger packs, so divide it into portions and freeze for another time.

KEEP IT FRESH

If you decide to buy larger canned goods, make sure that you transfer the remaining contents to a plastic container and use within a few days.

Before frying the meat marinade it in the red wine overnight.

When ready to cook drain of the wine use the marinade when it states adding the wine to the recipe.

Dry the meat in a kitchen towel BEFORE you fry it, wet meat will not brown and will become chewie.

The meat will have a nice red wine…

This worked very well - husband loved it. A good hearty dish to serve when you're short of time. Served with green vegetables and rice.

Added a couple of anchovies which boosted the flavour a bit. Nice enough but not memorable . Better if you use beef skirt and slowly cook it

Great mid week easy meal, pop it in the slow cooker and if cooking for more use less expensive beef.

question

A couple of questions:

In the US, the standard pour for a glass of wine is 5 fl.oz (150ml) or 1/5 of a bottle. Is it the same in the UK?

Should the can of tomatoes be drained, or is the juice added as well?

MTIA.

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. A glass of wine in the UK varies from 125-175ml, so 150ml would work well. With regards to the tomatoes, we recommend adding the juice too.
