The choice for your grill is up to you. The basic is usually several cuts of meat (including at least one cutlet or chop), bacon, sausage, and offal (kidneys or liver).

The mixed grill is usually served with mushrooms, tomatoes, fried egg, and often black pudding, a few chips and/or baked beans;

The ingredients are all easy enough to cook, it's the timing that's the problem with a mixed grill...

Put your liver in a bowl

Cover with milk and allow to sit for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. This will draw out the bitterness many people complain about when eating liver

Begin frying your sausage and mushrooms in the skillet turning occasionally, on a medium heat. Do not pierce the sausage, or the fat and flavour will leak from the banger in to the pan

After the sausage has been cooking for four minutes remove the mushrooms and put in the oven. Add the bacon to the skillet. Slice the tomato in half, season, sprinkle the sliced side with chopped basil, then add to the skillet flat side down.

Increase the heat of the skillet to high until smoking. Season the steak and lamb on both sides. Sprinkle the chop(s) liberally with chopped mint, then pop in the pan, along with the steak and the liver

Cook the liver for about 1½ minutes each side then set aside. Fry the steak and chop for 4-5 minutes then turn, cook for another 4-5 minutes then test with your finger to see if it's done to your taste. When it's cooked correctly, turn off the oven. Keep the steak, liver, and lamb in the oven to rest. Turn the heat in the skillet down to medium-low and crack in your egg

When the egg is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and begin plating up
