Ingredients

1 cup pale ale

1/3 cup barbecue sauce

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp Australian mustard

2 cloves garlic, crushed

4 x 200g beef rump steaks

FRENCH ONION POTATO SALAD

1kg baby red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled

3 middle bacon rashers

2 shallots, finely chopped, plus extra, to serve

1/2 cup roasted red capsicum, roughly chopped

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 Tbsp French onion soup mix

2 tsp wholegrain mustard

2 Tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus extra leaves, to serve

Method

Whisk ale, sauces, mustard and garlic in a large, shallow, glass or ceramic dish. Add steaks, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

For potato salad, put potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil on high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook for 18-20 minutes until just tender. Drain. Refresh under cold water. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, heat a barbecue grill plate or grill pan on high. Cook bacon for 2 minutes on each side until grill marks appear, then roughly chop and set aside to cool.

Reduce heat to medium. Drain steak from marinade. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, for medium. Transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, quarter potatoes and toss in a bowl with bacon, shallots and capsicum. In a small jug, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, soup mix, mustard and parsley. Toss with potato mixture. Season. Garnish with extra shallots and parsley. Serve with steaks.
