Beef Method

1. Preheat a heavy based frying pan until it sizzles when you add a drop of oil.
2. Season the meat with sea salt & a few turns of black pepper just prior to cooking.
3. Sear the meat in the oil, don't overcrowd the cooking base, this is really important so the meat doesn't boil.
4. Cook over high heat turning the steak strips on all sides for 2 to 3 minutes in total.
5. Finish by adding the prepared sauce, grain mustard & chopped parsley, stirring thoroughly then remove immediately from the heat.
6. Serve with dumplings & buttered spinach.
