• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan withboiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. 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 butter (for the mash) and the milk to potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled. Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!
• While the potato is cooking, lightly crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a pestle and mortar or in their sachet using a rolling pin. Finely chop garlic. • In a small microwave-safe bowl, add butter (for the sauce), peppercorns and half the garlic, then microwave in 10 second bursts, until melted. Season with salt and set aside.
• Trim ends of asparagus. Cut onion into wedges. Thinly slice carrot into sticks. Season beef rump on both sides. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Place beef rump between two sheets of baking paper. Pound beef with a meat mallet or rolling pin until slightly flattened. Season beef with salt and pepper. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef in batches, turning, for 5-6 minutes (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest.
TIP: Pounding the beef ensures that it's extra tender once cooked.
• While the steak is resting, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook asparagus, onion and carrot, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add a dash of water to the pan to help veggies cook. • Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season and toss to combine.
• Slice seared steak. • Divide mash, steak and garlicky greens between plates. Spoon over garlic-peppercorn butter and any steak resting juices. • Garnish garlicky veggies with toasted almonds. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinklingover the almonds!
