15-minute midweek meal

You can’t beat a 15-minute meal.

And this isn’t a ‘Jamie-Oliver-15-minute-meal’.

This really does only takes 15 minutes start to finish.

The only thing that might be a bit leftfield is having wet jerk marinade in your cupboard.

Now, if you’re a home cook who only wants freshly made ingredients.

Then I’ve included a recipe to make it yourself.

It takes 10 -15 mins to make… but it has a lot of ingredients.

I just went and bought some good jerk marinade.

After all, I wanted to make a meal in 15 minutes.

You can pick it up from most supermarkets or online.

And if this sounds slightly painful to you.

Then just make a quick, fiery rub with things chilli flakes, allspice, cinnamon, garlic powder etc.

Jerk steak and noodle broth

This isn’t an expensive steak dish.

I use everyday steak which is cheap.

It’s usually cut from the topside so is lean (another bonus).

Or you could use rump steak.

Because you’re adding the steak to a noodle broth, you don’t need lots of it.

You cut it into nice thing slices to go on top of the noodles.

I would recommend a good quality beef stock as this is the basis of the meal.

And I recommend making the very quick-and-easy pickled onions.

Now, I didn’t have red onions, just plain old white, but they were delicious.

Lastly, you can add what you want to this dish.

I added some sliced cabbage for some added veggie goodness.

So, it’s a great dish to use up things in the fridge.
