NZ Pulled Beef & Vegetable Stew

Add the potato to the saucepan of boiling water and cook until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of potato cook time, place a colander or steamer basket on top of the saucepan and add the broccolini. Cover with a lid to steam. Transfer the broccolini to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm. Drain the potato and return to the saucepan.

While the potato is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Add the flour, beef stock, the water, a good pinch of pepper and the 1/2 the butter to the frying pan and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the pulled beef and break up in the pan until the beef is warmed through and the stew is thickened, 4-5 minutes.

Add the milk, salt and the remaining butter to the saucepan with the potato and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Stir through the grated Parmesan cheese.
