Method
- Preheat the oven. Mix the tomatoes and garlic in a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Toss together thoroughly and roast for 30 minutes.
- To make the onion marmalade heat 1 tbsp olive oil and a knob of butter in a saucepan. Add the onion and fry over a low heat for 10 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar and continue to cook over a low heat until the liquid has reduced and you have a sticky consistency. Remove it from the heat and gently re-heat it when serving.
- Now heat a frying pan or griddle pan and season the steak with salt and pepper. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, for medium rare, or until it is cooked to your liking. Remove the steak, cover with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain the potatoes, add the milk, mustard and a knob of butter and season generously.
- Place the lid back on the saucepan, and holding it firmly in place, shake the potatoes (with gusto) in the pan so that they get a good 'bashing' and their outer surfaces break down (and combine with the butter and milk to create a thick, creamy sauce), but the main bulk of the potatoes are left intact.
- Place the steak on a plate and serve with the bashed potatoes, onion marmalade and roasted tomatoes.
