Notes

Note 1

The reason rolled oats are added is to thicken the steak and onion gravy if following an unofficial Slimming World plan. This can usually be counted as part of your fibre allowance if there's no added sugars or flavours and will completely disintegrates in the pot. You won't notice them after cooking!
