Broiled Steak with Mustard-Glazed Potatoes
Here lean beef is flavoured with a honey-mustard marinade and served with potatoes that are first boiled, then tossed in the marinade and broiled with the meat for a barbecued effect. The broiled steak with mustard-glazed potatoes is served on a bed of peppery watercress.

- Combine the mustard, honey, vinegar, garlic and pepper in a large bowl and stir well to combine. Place the beef in a shallow bowl. Measure out 2 tablespoons of mustard mixture and rub all over the beef. Marinate the steak for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- With a vegetable peeler, remove a strip of skin from around each potato. Drop the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water and cook until they are just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes well. Add to the bowl of mustard glaze, tossing to coat. With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to the broiler. (Leave room in the broiler pan for the onion wedges and beef.)
- Add the onion to the mustard mixture in the bowl, turning the wedges to coat. Add to the broiler pan with the potatoes.
- Preheat the broiler. Add the steak to the mustard-glazed potatoes and onion in the pan. Broil 8 cm from the heat for 8 minutes, turning the steak, potatoes and onion midway through cooking. Let the broiled steak stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with watercress.

There are two good reasons to serve meat and potatoes on a bed of salad greens: the fresh greens provide a delicious contrast to the meat; and at the same time, they round out the meal with important nutrients, such as carotenoids, vitamin C, folate and fibre.
