Flat Iron Steak, Creamed Spinach, Smoked Salt Chips & Gravy

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your steak out of the fridge, open the packet and let it adjust to room temperature

Boil a kettle

Cut your potato[es] (skins on) into chips, then add the chips to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of pepper

Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp

Wash your spinach then add to a colander and pour boiled water all over it so that it starts to wilt

Rinse the wilted spinach under cold running water until it's cool

Once cool, squeeze as much water out of the spinach as you can – this is your blanched spinach

Crush your garlic open by squashing it with the side of a knife and discard the skin

Add the blanched spinach to a food processor with your crushed garlic

Add a little drizzle of olive oil, a small splash of water and a generous pinch of salt and pepper

Blitz until smooth – this is your blitzed spinach

Transfer the blitzed spinach to a pot with your clotted cream and most of your grated Italian hard cheese (save some for a topping!) and half your smoked salt (you'll use the rest later!)

Cook over a medium heat for 3-4 min or until bubbling and thickened – this is your creamed spinach

Set aside, off the heat (you'll reheat it later!)

Reboil a kettle and heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat

Pat your flat iron steak[s] dry with kitchen paper, then drizzle them with vegetable oil and season with a small pinch of salt on both sides

Once very hot, add the flat iron steak[s] to the pan

For rare, cook for 2-3 min max on each side; for medium-rare, cook for 3-4 min on each side; for medium, cook for 4-5 min on each side

Once the steak[s] is cooked, transfer to a clean board to rest for 3-4 min and reserve the pan

Combine your gravy base with 125ml [200ml] [250ml] boiled water and whisk thoroughly – this is your gravy mix

Return the reserved pan to a medium-high heat, then add your gravy mix and cook for 1-2 min, stirring regularly, or until thickened – this is your gravy

Return the creamed spinach to a medium heat with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 30 secs or until bubbling

Slice the rested steak finely

Once the chips are ready, season with the remaining smoked salt and give them a good mix up – these are your smoked salt chips
