  • white wine vinegar
  • 1 packet garlic aioli
  • olive oil
  • 4 potatoes
  • 1 brown onion
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 packet onion chutney
  • 1 packet venison steak
  • 4 wholemeal paninis

  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 bag rocket leaves

Instructions

  1. • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
    Cut potato into fries.
    • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with
    olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
    • Bake until just tender, 20-25 minutes.
  2. • Meanwhile, thinly slice onion. Boil the kettle.
    • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
    over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring,
    until softened, 6-7 minutes.
    • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic
    vinegar, onion chutney and a splash of water
    and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky,
    2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
  3. • See Top Steak Tips (below) for extra info!
    • Meanwhile, season venison steak with a pinch
    of salt and pepper. Wipe out the frying pan,
    then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle
    of olive oil.
    • When oil is hot, cook venison for 3-5 minutes on
    each side (depending on thickness).
    • Transfer to a plate to rest and cover to keep
    warm.
    TIP: This will give you a medium steak. Cook for a
    little less if you like it rare, or a little longer for well
    done.
  4. • Halve wholemeal panini and sprinkle smoked
    Cheddar cheese over the top half of each
    panini.
    • When the fries have 5 minutes remaining, bake
    panini directly on the wire oven rack until the
    cheese is melted, 5 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, combine gravy granules and the
    boiling water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4
    people) in a medium heatproof bowl, whisking,
    until smooth, 1 minute. Season to taste.
  5. • Thinly slice tomato.
    • In a second medium bowl, combine rocket
    leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and
    olive oil. Season to taste
  6. • Slice venison steak. Spread garlic aioli on panini
    halves.
    • Top with caramelised onion, steak, tomato and
    dressed rocket leaves.
    • Serve with fries and gravy. Enjoy!
    TIP: Dip the sandwich into the gravy to eat.
