Super supper ideas using top British ingredients

STEAK WITH WHISKY-BRAISED ONIONS AND MUSTARD SAUCE

Rump steak, brushed in a garlicky pine butter, sings when served with a sauce containing both Scottish and English mustards, double cream and a dash of whisky. Charred onions and long-stem broccoli complete the picture.

F&T WINE MATCH Bold, full-bodied tempranillo to bring out the very best in the steak, but with a slight freshness to suit the pine flavour (eg 2007 Viña Tondonia Reserva, Rioja, Spain)

PORT ERIN TT PORK BURGERS

Created in homage to the Isle of Man's famed Races, these meaty monsters are sandwiched between an apple and Korean chilli paste sauce and crunchy salad. Loved by bikers – and by us.

F&T WINE MATCH Medium-bodied país with notes of white pepper to elevate the spicy elements in these burgers (eg 2017 Roberto Henriquez Santa Cruz de Coya, Bio-Bio Valley, Chile)

BARBECUED LAMB BAGUETTE

Made using a flavour-packed combination of lamb sausages and mince, plus plenty of crispy onions, you'll need paper napkins at the ready for this one – it's a saucy, messy feast of a meal.

F&T WINE MATCH Pinot noir with a fresh softness to lift the onions (eg 2016 Edoardo Miroglio Soli Pinot Noir, Thracian Valley, Bulgaria)

COD WITH WARM TARTARE SAUCE AND OYSTER FRITTERS

This classic pairing calls for top-notch fresh mayonnaise, which is gently warmed – along with shallots and capers – into a rich, creamy sauce.

F&T WINE MATCH A chalky aligoté will suit both sauce and batter (eg 2017 Domaine Naudin-Ferrand ‘Le Clou 34', Burgundy, France)
