⢠Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water. ⢠Peel potato and cut into large chunks. ⢠Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. ⢠Add the milk, Dijon mustard and 1/2 the butter to potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.

⢠Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into sticks. Roughly chop silverbeet. Thinly slice brown onion. Finely chop garlic. Pick thyme leaves. ⢠In a small heatproof bowl, add the dried cranberries and cover in boiling water.

⢠In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. ⢠Cook carrot, until tender, 4-5 minutes. ⢠Add garlic and silverbeet and cook until fragrant and wilted, 1 minute. Season. ⢠Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

⢠Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine pork steaks, garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Season. ⢠Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. ⢠When oil is hot, cook pork steaks until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). ⢠Transfer to a plate, cover and rest for 5 minutes.

⢠While pork is resting, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and remaining butter. Cook onion, stirring regularly until softened, 3-4 minutes. ⢠Meanwhile, drain cranberries. ⢠Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, thyme, cranberries and a splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. ⢠Remove from the heat. Stir in the pork resting juices and season.

⢠Slice pork. ⢠Divide mash potato, garlic veggies and seared pork between plates. ⢠Pour cranberry-thyme sauce over pork to serve. Enjoy!
