Method

  1. 1

    Boil the new potatoes in salted water for 15–18 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Toss the sliced onion in the flour. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onions for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp; remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Season the steak, add to the same pan and fry for 2–3 minutes each side, then remove and rest.

  4. 4

    Add the butter and paprika to the pan, pour in the stock and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any bits, to make a quick gravy.

  5. 5

    Slice the steak, spoon over the gravy, and pile the crispy onions on top. Serve with the potatoes.

Nothing left over: everything this recipe opens gets used.
