  • 2-3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tspn garlic powder
  • 1 tspn cumin powder
  • 1 tspn turmeric powder
  • 1 tspn paprika powder
  • 1/2 tspn salt
  • 1/2 tspn black pepper
  • 1/2 tspn herbamare (optional)

Mushroom Sauce

  • 150 gms button mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp ghee, butter, or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup plain flour (or cornflour if gluten-free)
  • 1 1/4 cup chicken broth here's how to make home-made chicken broth
  • 1/2 tspn herbamare, optional
  • pinch salt and black pepper

Steak

  • 500 gms sirloin steak

Instructions
 

  • Get the steak out of the fridge and allow to come to room temperature - approx 1 hour

Jacket Potato

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
  • Wash and dry the potatoes and pop them into a baking dish. Brush them with olive oil and score with a sharp knife. Cook for approx 1 hour or until a skewer pushes through the flesh easily.

Cauliflower

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a glass baking dish as I did.
  • Mix together extra-virgin olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, turmeric, herbamare, salt, ground black pepper ( I just mixed this directly in the glass baking dish and stirred through the cauliflower). Coat the cauliflower well with this paste.
  • Cook for approx 25 minutes remembering to stir once during cooking.

Steak

  • The following instructions for cooking the steak are directly from Jamie Oliver's recipe here.
  • Heat a frying pan until really hot before you begin – this will help to caramelise the meat, essential for a delicious crust.
  • Rub the steak all over with a good lug of olive oil and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
  • Add the steak to a hot pan, then cook for 6 minutes for medium-rare, or to your liking, turning every minute.
  • Once cooked to your liking, rest the steak on a plate that can collect all the lovely juices for 2 minutes.
  • Carve with a nice sharp carving knife, then serve with the resting juices drizzled on top.

Mushroom sauce

  • Start to make the mushroom sauce 5 minutes before serving.
  • In a small saucepan saute the mushrooms and garlic for a couple of minutes. Add the flour and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Slowly add stock, 1/4 cup at a time, allow to simmer but stir constantly to prevent lumps forming. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until sauce boils and thickens. Season with herbamare, salt and pepper. Adjust liquid quantity to achieve the consistency you require.

 Assembly

  • Assemble as per photo. Jacket potato can be served with butter and sour cream.
