1 x 400g tin sweetcorn (liquid retained)
1kg mashed potatoes made with the liquid from the peas and sweetcorn
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1.5kg steak cut into 5 x 3 x 3 cm strips
120ml oil
6 tbsp flour
500ml onion soup
Method:
Mix the peas, mashed potatoes and sweetcorn together and blend with the butter, salt and pepper. Fry the steak in the oil until lightly browned then remove from the pan. Add the flour to the remaining oil and form a roux. Add the onion soup to the roux and cook until it becomes medium-dense. Season with salt, pepper and Tabasco or hot pepper sauce.
To serve, make a large mound of the Iro in the centre of the plate. Form a hole about 6cm in diameter in the centre and fill this with the fried steak and the gravy.
