21 Day Aged Rump Steak and Cheesy Garlic Mash

a) When the oven is hot, roast the carrots on the top shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through. 

b) Meanwhile, chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer). Peel the garlic cloves. 

c) Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt for the potatoes.

d) Add the potatoes and whole garlic cloves to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.

a) While the potatoes cook, pour the water for the jus (see pantry for amount) into a small saucepan, bring to the boil on high heat.

b) Stir in the red wine jus paste, then reduce the heat to medium-high. TIP: If your red wine jus paste has hardened, pop in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

c) Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken, stirring regularly, 6-7 mins.

d) Meanwhile, grate the cheese.

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. TIP: Rump steaks naturally vary in shape, so adjust the following timings depending on how you like yours cooked.

b) Once very hot, lay the steaks into the pan and fry until browned and medium-rare, about 5 mins. Turn halfway through. TIP: Cook each side for 1 min more if you like it more well done.

c) Once cooked, transfer to a board, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. The steak is safe to eat when browned on the outside.

a) When the carrots have 5 mins left, drizzle over the honey. Turn to coat. Return to the oven for the remaining time. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

b) Once the potatoes and garlic are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat.

c) Add the cheese, a splash of milk (if you have any) and butter (see pantry for amount) and mash until smooth.

d) Season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
