Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6 and boil a kettle
Peel and slice your brown onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based hob-safe oven-proof casserole dish with a matching lid with a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat
Note: Make sure your dish is oven-proof and safe to use on the hob. Don't have one? Start cooking in a large, wide-based pan then transfer to an oven-proof dish and cover tightly with foil
Once hot, add your diced beef and cook for 2-3 min or until lightly browned
Peel and finely chop (or grate) half your garlic and grate your chestnut mushrooms

Once the beef is lightly browned, add the sliced onion to dish with the chopped garlic, grated mushroom and a knob of butter and cook for 3 min further or until everything has slightly softened
Add your beef stock mix with 450ml [675ml] [900ml] boiled water, your tomato paste and Henderson's Relish
Bring to the boil over a high heat and season with a pinch of salt and pepper
Cover with the lid and put the dish in the oven for 55 min – this is your beef & mushroom ragù

While the ragù is in the oven, reboil a full kettle
Peel your potatoes and chop them into large, bite-sized pieces
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender
Once done, drain and return to the pot with a knob of butter, a splash of milk and season with a pinch of salt
Mash until smooth and set aside to reheat later

Cut your red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely
Peel and finely slice (don't chop!) the remaining garlic
Chop your parsley finely, including the stalks
Add your ciabatta[s] to a baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 5-6 min or until hot and crusty
Carefully slice the ciabatta before serving

Meanwhile, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] of olive oil and a knob of butter over a medium heat
Once hot, add the chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), sliced garlic and half the chopped parsley and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, drain then add your king prawns and cook for 4-5 min or until cooked through – these are your garlic & chilli prawns
Serve the garlic & chilli prawns (and any of the tasty oil!) in a sharing dish with the sliced ciabatta to the side for dipping
Dig in and enjoy your starter of garlic & chilli prawns with ciabatta while the ragù is in the oven

Once the beef & mushroom ragù has been in the oven for 55 min, add your Tenderstem broccoli to a tin foil-lined baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and a splash of cold water
Put the tray in the oven for 8-10 min or until tender, golden and crisp

Once ready, remove the beef & mushroom ragù from the oven and leave to stand for a couple of min before serving (this helps the flavours to develop)
Meanwhile, return the mash to a low heat with a splash of milk and half your grated Italian hard cheese
Gently reheat for 2 min or until the cheese has melted and the mash is warmed through – this is your cheesy mash

Serve the cheesy mash with the roasted Tenderstem broccoli to the side and spoon over the beef & mushroom ragù
Sprinkle over the remaining parsley and grated Italian hard cheese
Enjoy!
