Fried Steak with Garlic Mustard Cheese Sauce and Spur Onion Rings

Onion Rings

1. Thinly sliced the onion (I used a mandolin), and cover with sprite (or soda water) for a minimum of an hour (up to 24 hours).
2. Add drained onion rings to seasoned flour, coat well put in a colander, and shake off excess flour.
3. Fry in medium hot oil until golden and crispy.
4. Drain on a paper towel.
5. Sprinkle with Spur seasoning salt.
6. Steak
7. Every family’s taste differs – so create your own dry rub and apply it to the steak.
8. Mix it in a bowl and toss it on the steaks lightly (reserve some/lots for the potatoes!)
9. Bear in mind I always sprinkle bicarb on my meat for 15 minutes, rinse then pat dry, then marinate.
10. Then add the egg and cornstarch and mix well into the steak.
11. Shallow fry in hot oil.

Potato

1. Peel, wash, and cut them according to your family’s likeness.
2. Parboil slightly, and dry them.
3. Pour some olive oil over – just enough to coat them – then toss in the spices you used on the steaks.
4. Place in an oiled baking pan. Set aside. Bake at 180 degrees C – for 25 minutes – blot with butter the last 10 minutes (while making your sauce).

Sauce

1. Melt butter, add garlic and mustard sauce then stir in flour (off the heat) until blended.
2. Return to heat and stir in the chicken stock, whisking vigorously.
3. Add milk/cream and bring to just below boiling point once thickened.
4. Stir in pepper and mustard powder.
5. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted,
6. Add nutmeg.
