carrot
1 bag

1 packet
beef rump

⅓ cup

½ tsp

Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Peel the potato and cut into 2cm chunks. Add the potato to the saucepan of boiling water and cook until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan. Add the butter, milk and the salt to the saucepan with the potato. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
While the potato is cooking, finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Trim the green beans.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the carrot and green beans and cook, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and set aside.
Return the frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Season the beef rump steaks with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add the beef rump and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest.
TIP: This will give you a medium steak but cook for a little less if you like it rare, or a little longer for well done.
Wipe out and return the frying pan to a medium heat. Add the light cooking cream and basil pesto and stir to combine. Scraping any bits from the pan, cook until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir through any resting juices from the beef.
Thinly slice the beef rump. Divide the mash between plates. Serve with the beef and garlic veggies. Pour over the creamy pesto sauce.
