Steak Diane with Creamy Mash

To make mash, boil potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling water until tender. Drain. Return to same pan. Mash until smooth. Add milk and butter. Stir over a low heat until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

Brush oil over both sides of steaks. Heat a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add steaks. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Remove. Rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in same pan over a medium heat. Add eschalots and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add paste. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in cream and sauce. Bring to boil. Boil for 2 minutes, or until slightly reduced. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve steaks with sauce, mash and broccolini. Garnish with cracked pepper.
