This posh version of steak and chips wouldn't look out of place in a restaurant. Because it's so simple, it's a great choice if you're not a very confident cook but want to seriously impress.

- 4 large potatoes, scrubbed
- 1-2tbsp sunflower oil
- 1/2tsp paprika

Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.

- When cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and keep warm. Add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 3 to 4 mins. Then add the crème fraîche and stilton and heat gently for 1 min.
- Serve the steaks with the stilton and mushroom sauce, potato wedges and salad.
