  • 2 tsp wholegrain mustard 
  • 1 pinch salt & pepper 

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180-200°C and oil baking tray and add potatoes and red onion.
  2. Sprinkle vegies with olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden.

Cooking Tip: For perfectly tender steak, let it rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is flavourful and juicy. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness!
