Family Steak with Caramelised Onion & Smashed Veg
- Milk
These minute steaks will be ready in a flash, because who has hours for dinner? A vibrant, messy mash is a great way to sneak green veg onto plates where it otherwise might not be welcome. It’s chunky and unpretentious and delicious and we like it very much. Balsamic onion sounds a bit grown up, but it’s sticky sweet and delicious, maybe we adults have been trying to keep it a secret all this time? No more! Dig in one and all.

Cooking Steps
To prepare the ingredients, cut the sweet potato into 2 cm chunks (unpeeled) and finely slice the red onion. Cut the stalk off the broccoli and cut into 2 cm pieces. Cut the head of the broccoli into small florets and set aside.
Place the sweet potato and broccoli stalks in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender. Add the broccoli florets and cook for a further 2 minutes or until tender. Drain and return the sweet potato and broccoli to the same pan. Add half the butter, a splash of milk and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until the desired consistency (we like ours chunky and a little lumpy).
Meanwhile, season the beef minute steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Melt the remaining butter in the same pan with a splash of olive oil (so the butter doesn’t burn) over a medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until the onion has softened. Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for a further 3 minutes or until the onion becomes sticky.
To serve, divide the chunky vegetable mash and the beef minute steaks between plates. Top the steaks with the sticky caramelised onions and enjoy.
