- Remove the beef from the pan when it is sealed on both sides. Transfer to a warm plate.
- Place another little drizzle of oil on the pan and fry off onions, garlic, broccoli, maungetout, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms until almost fully cooked (approximately 8-10 minutes)
- Add in 3 tablespoons soy sauce and continue to cook gently for another moment or two.
- For the Roasted Garlic Mashed Potato:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/Gas 5).
- Slice the bulb of garlic across horizontally.
- Place on a baking tray and roast in the hot oven for approximately 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile peel, boil and mash the potatoes. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Add in the milk and squeeze in the roasted garlic. Mash thoroughly again to infuse the garlic. If you wish you can add a little butter and chopped parsley as well.
- Serve the meat and vegetables with these creamy garlic mashed potatoes.
