Steak and roasted new potatoes, with garlic mushrooms.

Fantastic sirloin steak from J. Melling - quality butcher's from Todmorden Indoor Market - deserved simple treatment to bring out its natural flavours.  SO, back to the '70s we went - pepper steak, garlic mushrooms and some roasted new potatoes ... beat that!

5.  Take the steak out of the pan, and onto a plate LEAVE IT TO REST ... got it!  it's important - so LEAVE IT TO REST for at least half the time you cooked it for.
6.  Serve, with salad, scoff, smile.
