DF makes a wickid meat and veg meal - lamb steaks on a bed of mashed potato and sweet potato with a balsamic sauce and green beans.

This makes enough for the 2 of us.

2 lamb steaks
rosemary
thyme
basil
4 spring onions sliced thinly
2/3 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
knob of butter
potato, sweet potato

Cook the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with some milk and butter if you prefer.
Smash up the herbs in a mortar and pestle a bit and rub onto the lamb steaks.
Heat a little oil in a frypan and cook the lamb steaks to your liking. Remove and keep warm.
Fry the spring onions a few minutes until soft and then add the stock and vinegar. Bring to boil and reduce slightly. Add the knob of butter stirring in until melted and sauce has slightly thickened.
Serve the lamb steaks on a bed of mashed potatoes and pour the sauce over. Serve with green beans.

ETA: I forgot to answer your original question I tend to put in a fair bit of effort. I will try a new recipe at least once a week and try to make a nice meal out of it. I tend to cook alot of one pot dishes like casseroles, curries, stirfries, etc so all the veggies are in the with dish anyway.
