Vickys Scottish Beef Olives with Onion Gravy
- 50 grams sunflower spread or butter
- 175 grams gluten-free pinhead oats
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4 beef topside steaks, flattened with a mallet or rolling pin and halved
- 1 tbsp scottish or french mustard
- 90 grams seasoned gluten-free flour
- 30 grams sunflower spread or butter
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 450 ml beef stock
- 2 finely chopped onions
- Preheat oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350F
- Start by making the stuffing:
- Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry off the onion
- Add the oatmeal to the pan, season and cook gently for 10 minutes stirring well
- In Scotland we call this 'skirlie' as you 'skirl' it round the pan while it's cooking!
- Lay out your flattened steaks and spread thinly with mustard
- Place a 'sausage' shape of stuffing/skirlie on top and proceed to roll the steak over like you would a swiss roll, tucking in the end flaps
- Secure with butchers string so when cooked the 'olive' rolls keep their shape
- Dust each 'olive' with some of the seasoned flour then shallow fry in the butter to seal the meat
- Remove from the frying pan and place in a casserole dish
- To the frying pan juices, add the remaining seasoned flour, then slowly add in the stock whisking to avoid lumps
- Bring to the boil, add the onion then pour over the beef olives in the casserole dish
- I like to add a sliced carrot and some peas to the dish too to save cooking the side veg separately
- Braise for 1 hour or until done
- Serve with boiled new potatoes, carrots and peas for a taste of Scotland!
