Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Trim the green tops from the baby carrots and scrub them clean. Place the carrots on an oven tray lined with baking paper and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes. Trim the green beans. When the carrots have been roasting for 20 minutes, add the green beans and pine nuts to the oven tray and toss to combine. Return to the oven until the beans are tender and the pine nuts are golden, 5-7 minutes.
While the carrots are roasting, 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 pan. Add the butter (for the mash), milk and the salt and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Cover with a lid to keep warm and set aside.
While the potato is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Season the premium fillet steak all over with salt and pepper and add to the hot pan. Sear the steak until browned, 1 minute on all sides. Transfer to a second oven tray lined with baking paper and roast for 8-10 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Remove the tray from the oven and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
TIP: The meat will keep cooking as it rests!
While the steak is cooking, slice the bacon into thin batons. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely chop the parsley. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil if needed. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-5 minutes. Stir through 1/2 the parsley and transfer to a bowl.
TIP: No need to wash the pan before cooking the bacon, or after!
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and butter (for the sauce) and cook, stirring, until well browned, 4-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the bacon-parsley mixture, light thickened cream and any resting juices from the steak. Cook, stirring, until well combined and reduced slightly, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Thickly slice the steak. Divide the mashed potato, baby carrots, green beans and premium beef fillet steak between plates. Spoon over the creamy bacon-mushroom sauce and garnish with the remaining parsley.
