Instructions
- • 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. - • 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. - • 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. - • 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. - • Thinly slice tomato.
• In a second medium bowl, combine rocket
leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and
olive oil. Season to taste - • 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.
