This Steak recipe is a great weekend meal, and can be kept really low calorie, to allow you enjoy that cheeky glass of wine with it too!
This is another recipe from Kirsty at the Darwen group, who has shared a great trick for peeling Aubergines. I don’t use aubergines regularly because I think they can be a bit of a faff, all the patting down with kitchen paper to get rid of the water but this recipe doesn’t need that! Aubergines absorb flavours and are great for bulking out recipes, as they have a slightly meaty texture.
If you have the calories to spare you could add some more vegetables and a few new potatoes, just make sure you add the calories.
