O.M.G! This little dish was delicious, rich and very tasty.  Saw this on a social media video, my salavating at the video simply meant I had to give it a go. Changed the recipe slightly to suit our tastes.

Makes for 2

2 sirloin steaks – sliced into 1cm strips

2 tbsp plain flour

Salt & pepper to taste

1 large red onion

2 garlic cloves crushed

1 tsp chilli flakes

200ml beef stock

100ml red wine (I used shiraz)

1 tbsp tomato paste

2 large handfuls of grated cheddar

2 large handfuls of french fries

1. Heat a little oil in a fry pan to a medium to high heat
2. Place the steak strips into the pan and brown all over, add the flour, salt & pepper until coated and soaked up the juices then remove and set aside.
   

   
3. Place another tbsp of oil in the pan and cook the onion with the garlic until softened.
4. Add in the tomato paste, chilli flakes, beef stock & red wine, gently bring to boil then reduce to a very low simmer.
5. Add back to the pan the beef strips and cook slow for about 1 hour (pan covered).                                                                                      
6. Remove pan lid 10 minutes before serving and bring heat up a little to thicken the sauce if needed.
7. Meanwhile, cook the french fries as per packet instructions.
8. Place the fries on a plate, top with the cheese and melt under a hot grill for a few seconds then top with the beef strips….Serve. Oh so yummy!

It definitely makes a difference if you’ve got some good quality meat and cheese.
