25g/1oz butter
3 tbsp double cream
2 tsp wholegrain mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the glazed peas and carrots
25g/1oz butter
85g/3oz whole baby carrots, trimmed
55g/2oz fresh peas

50ml/2fl oz boiling water

For the spicy Yorkshire puddings
3 tbsp vegetable oil
100g/3½oz plain flour
3 free-range eggs
150ml/5fl oz milk

½ tsp chilli flakes
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil.
2. For the steak, rub the oil into the beef and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Heat an ovenproof griddle pan over a medium heat, add the steak, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer to the oven for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked to your liking, then remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
4. For the mustard mash, cook the potato in the boiling water for 10-15 minutes, or until tender, then drain. Mash with the butter, cream and mustard until smooth. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5. For the glazed peas and carrots, melt the butter in a separate saucepan over a medium heat and add the carrots, peas, salt and boiling water. Place the lid half on the pan, turn the heat down, and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. Stir in the parsley.
6. For the Yorkshire puddings, pour the oil into a muffin tray and place in the oven to heat. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended).
7. Mix the flour, eggs, half of the milk, and the chilli flakes in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk well to combine, adding more milk little by little until the batter is the consistency of single cream.
8. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and fill the moulds three-quarters full with the batter, then return to the oven for 7-8 minutes, or until risen and golden-brown.
9. Serve the steak on top of the mashed potato with the peas, carrots and Yorkshire puddings on the side.
