Provencal Steak with Spring Vegetables

Trim the steak; cut the trimmings into small pieces and prepare a stock with them by adding the 2 MAGGI Less Salt Chicken Stock cubes and the 600ml of water.

Wash the potatoes but do not peel them. Trim the artichokes and cut them into slices; peel the spring onions and the garlic cloves. Dip the olives in hot water and then in cold water; do that twice and cut the zucchini into slices 2-cm thick. Cook each vegetable separately in salted water, and then braise the vegetables in butter for about 15 minutes in a covered non-stick pan.

Season the braised vegetables with thyme, rosemary and bay leaves. Just before serving, add the water and chopped basil. Stir vigorously so that all the vegetables are covered with the sauce and remove from the heat immediately.

Season the beef with crushed black pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pan fry for 15 minutes in a non-stick pan, turning several times. Keep warm on a plate covered with aluminum foil. Deglaze the pan with the white vinegar and water and add to the meat stock and other sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil and keep on heat toabout 20% of the whole amount. Place the beef and the vegetables on a warm plate and pour the sauce over.
