Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Dissolve half the stock cube and half the mustard in a jug with 200ml hot water (100ml for 1 person), then stir in the yoghurt. Finely dice the shallot. Finely chop or crush 3 garlic cloves. Very thinly slice the potatoes.
- Heat a frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the shallot, garlic and dried herbs. Cook for 4-5 mins, until softening. Add the potatoes and a pinch of nutmeg, cook for 2 mins, then pour in the stock. Simmer for 5 mins. Meanwhile, halve and de-stone the plums, cut into 6 wedges each.
- Transfer the potato mixture to a small ovenproof dish. Bake for 22-25 mins, until golden. Place the plums into another ovenproof dish with 2 tbsp water (1 tbsp for 1 person). Roast for 15-20 mins, until softened.
- Wipe the frying pan. Reheat with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Season the steaks with sea salt and black pepper and cook (as a guide: 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, or 5-6 mins for well-done). Remove and leave to rest then slice against the grain.
- Add the remaining mustard, 2 roasted plum wedges and 150ml hot water (75ml for 1 person) to the steak pan. Crumble in the remaining stock cube. Cook for 2-3 mins, until slightly thickened, then mash the plums with a fork. Meanwhile, half-fill a saucepan with hot water and bring to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for 2 mins, until wilted. Drain, then toss with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt.
- Serve the steak with spinach, dauphinoise and plums. Spoon over the sauce.
