T-Bone Steak with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Step 1 - Take the T-bone steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 200°C.

Step 2 - Place the peeled and cubed potatoes and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast the potatoes and garlic in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown.

Step 3 - While the potatoes are roasting, preheat your grill pan to medium-high heat. Season both sides of the T-bone steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle a little olive oil over the steaks and rub it in. Sprinkle minced garlic on both sides of the steaks and press it in gently. Place the steaks on the grill pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your preference. While grilling, place a few rosemary sprigs on top of each steak to infuse them with flavour. Once cooked to your desired level, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 4 - Remove the roasted potatoes and garlic from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add butter and milk (or cream) to the bowl. Mash the potatoes and garlic together using a potato masher or a fork until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to achieve your desired consistency. Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.

Step 5 - Serve each grilled T-bone steak alongside a generous serving of roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Enjoy!
