It is not proper to throw any type supermarket steak and chips together, however. To perfect the meal, it takes the right ingredients and the right type of steak.

The key to this dish is to use the best British grass fed beef; not only is it beneficial for your health, it has also been found to be more environmentally friendly. The highest quality grass fed beef is not always readily available in supermarkets, so source from online butchers to get the best meat.
