Day 1: Dinner

BALSAMIC-GLAZED STEAK

• olive oil spray, for cooking
• 200g minute steak, all visible fat removed
• ½ tbsp balsamic vinegar

ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD

• 2 chat potatoes, steamed, lightly crushed and chilled overnight
• 1⁄4 sweet potato, cut into 2cm pieces, steamed and chilled overnight
• 1⁄4 eggplant, cut into 3cm pieces
• 1⁄4 large red capsicum, seeded and cut into 2cm pieces
• 3⁄8 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
• 1⁄4 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
• 65g grape or cherry tomatoes
• 1⁄4 large zucchini, halved lengthways and cut into 2cm pieces

• Preheat the oven to 210°C (190° fan-forced). Line a large roasting tin with baking paper.
• To make the roasted vegetable salad, place the crushed potatoes, sweet potato, eggplant and capsicum in the lined tin, then sprinkle with 1⁄4 tbsp of the rosemary and drizzle with the olive oil, tossing well to coat.
• Roast for 15 minutes, then add the tomatoes and zucchini and scatter with the remaining rosemary, tossing gently to coat. Roast for another 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and golden brown and the potatoes are crisp.
• Meanwhile, pan-fry the steak. Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over high heat, then spray with olive oil. Season both sides of the steak well with freshly ground black pepper, then pan-fry for two to three minutes on each side for medium-rare or continue until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside.
• Remove the pan from the heat, then add the balsamic vinegar and stir to scrape up any caught-on bits from the base of the pan.
• Add one tbsp (15ml) water and bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring to create a sauce.
• Return the steak to the pan, remove from the heat, then turn to coat in the sauce.
• Place the steak on a plate, then spoon any remaining balsamic mixture in the pan over the roasted vegetables and gently stir to mix. Add the vegetables to the plate and serve immediately.
