Tips:

• Herb butter, gluten free bread crumbs, even the roast vegetables can all be found in our blog recipes and made days ahead.

• This dish is about the beautiful char-grill steaks and the 'to-die-for' sauce. So you can change the roast vegetables, onion rings to a different side dish if you prefer. Maybe potato mash, boiled green bean/peas... 
• I use powdered beef stock in this recipe, the sauce may need salt added to taste.
