Pepper steak with red wine, parmesan and chilli

Ingredients:

For the steak
* black pepper
* 1 tbsp butter
* 4 fillet steaks (about 150g each)
* 100ml red wine
* 100g parmesan, shaved
* 1-2 large red chillies, finely sliced
* 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley leaves

For the mash
* 800g sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
* black pepper
* 2 tsp butter
* 5-6 tbsp milk

Method
For the mash:

Cook sweet potato in lightly salted boiling water for about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain, add ground pepper, butter and milk and mash until smooth.

For the steak:

Grind black pepper coarsely on both sides of steaks. Heat butter in a large heavy-based pan until nut-brown, add steaks and cook over medium to high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked as desired. Remove steaks from pan and rest in a warm place.

Add wine to pan and stir over medium heat, scraping the residue from the base of pan. Check seasoning and when slightly reduced pour sauce over steaks and top with parmesan, chilli and parsley.

Serve with mash and green salad leaves.
