AD – this is a commissioned post – Review

I was pleased when Hello Fresh asked me to work with them, and I chose the Steak Strips and Cheesy Wedges ’n’ Posh Gravy recipe to review. It was a real winner.

Read on for my thoughts and the full recipe details below.

Hello Fresh

I’ve tried Hello Fresh before. I wasn’t always convinced by meal kits, but since using them more I’ve come to appreciate their convenience and purpose.

For busy families, couples or single people, the boxes arrive with everything in the right quantities, which makes cooking simpler and reduces waste.

Each meal comes with a clear recipe card and pre-measured ingredients, so prep is quick and straightforward.

What I like most is that the recipes are consistently good — at least the ones I’ve tried — and the variety helps pull you out of a dinner rut. Their weekly menu offers classic dishes, interesting fusion ideas and recipes from around the world, so there’s always something new to try.

Recipes for All Tastes and Occasions

Hello Fresh offers a wide range of recipes to suit different tastes and occasions. Whether you want a family-friendly dinner, a quick midweek meal or something a bit more special, you’ll find easy-to-follow recipes that deliver great flavour in six simple steps.

They also curate popular recipes that have been highly rated by customers, so you can try the dishes that others love.

Hello Fresh – recipe boxes

One size doesn’t fit all, so Hello Fresh offers different box types to suit different households and schedules. Choose from boxes with a broad selection of recipes, family-focused options, rapid boxes for speedy meals, or vegetarian boxes for meat-free choices.

Benefits of Hello Fresh

Deliciousness: Chef-created recipes are tested thoroughly to make sure the meals are tasty and straightforward to cook.
Simplicity: Step-by-step recipe cards and easy account management make life simpler.
Flexibility: The plans accommodate different appetites and household sizes; you can skip weeks or cancel if needed.
Stress-free evenings: Fewer trips to the store, pre-planned meals and less cleanup mean more free time.
Dietary variety: You can choose recipes that match your preferences and avoid ingredients you don’t like.
Less waste: Pre-measured ingredients and recyclable packaging help reduce food waste and environmental impact.

So now to the recipe I decided to make:

Steak Strips and Cheesy Wedges ’n’ Posh Gravy

I picked this recipe because it looked and sounded delicious—and it didn’t disappoint. It’s quick to make but feels special enough for a family dinner.

At Easy Peasy we feature a lot of chicken recipes, so I decided to cook beef this time. The cheesy wedges were a highlight — I’ll definitely make them again. The green beans roast alongside the wedges, which keeps things efficient and tasty.

The steak strips, mushrooms and onion combine with a rich red-wine-style stock to make a glossy, flavour-packed gravy. Everyone enjoyed the meal; it’s now a firm favourite in my repertoire and one I’ll make regularly.

If you give this recipe a try, please share your photos and comments — I’d love to see how it turns out for you.

Another Steak Strip Idea

If you enjoy steak strips, you might also like my Easy Beef Udon Noodles & Shiitake Mushrooms recipe. It’s another quick, flavourful beef dish that pairs well with thinly sliced steak.

Big love as always, Clare x

Recipe: Steak Strips and Cheesy Wedges ’n’ Posh Gravy

Delicious and easy steak strips with cheesy wedges and a flavour-packed gravy, served with green beans.

Details

Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 2
Calories per serving: 926 kcal

Ingredients

4 Potatoes
100 g Cheddar cheese
1 Red onion
200 g Closed cup mushrooms
1 pack Green beans
240 g Beef steak strips
8 g Plain flour (contains gluten)
1 Red wine stock pot
200 millilitres Water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C.
Cut the potatoes into 2 cm-wide wedges (no need to peel).
Grate the cheese.
Place the wedges in a single layer on a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat, then spread out and roast on the top shelf until golden, 25–30 minutes. Turn halfway through cooking.
Five minutes before the wedges are done, sprinkle the cheese evenly over them and return to the oven for the remaining time.
Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Thinly slice the mushrooms.
Put the green beans on another baking tray, drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat and set aside.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the steak strips, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until nicely browned, 2–3 minutes. Remove the meat to a bowl and reduce the heat to medium-high.
Add the onion and mushrooms to the pan with a little oil, season, and stir-fry until golden and soft, 5–6 minutes.
While the mushrooms are frying, roast the green beans in the oven until crispy but tender, 15–20 minutes. When the mushrooms are browned, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Return the steak strips and any juices to the pan, pour in the water and add the red wine stock pot. Stir to dissolve and bring to a simmer.
Simmer until the sauce is glossy and slightly reduced, 10–15 minutes. Important: the steak is safe to eat when the outside is cooked.
Serve as you prefer: wedges alongside the steak and gravy with mushrooms, and a portion of green beans, or serve the steak and gravy on top of the cheesy wedges. Enjoy!
