Family Steak with Caramelised Onion & Smashed Veg

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.
