There’s something eternally comforting about the aroma of a peppercorn sauce. Completely mouth-watering to say the least. Drizzled over tender seared venison steak with a side of greens and toasted almonds, it’s time for pub-style steak and potatoes to move over; there’s a new and completely luxe contender in town.

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato and parsnip into bite-sized chunks. Lightly crush half the garlic with the skin on. • Place potato, parsnip and crushed garlic on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop remaining garlic. Halve any thicker stalks of baby broccoli (see ingredients) lengthways. Trim green beans.
• When the veggies have 15 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook green beans and baby broccoli until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add flaked almonds and chopped garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• See Top Steak Tips! (below). Season venison steak on both sides. • Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook steak for 3-5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest.
• SPICY! Peppercorns can be spicy, use less if you're sensitive to heat! Meanwhile, lightly crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a mortar and pestle or in their sachet using a rolling pin. • Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-low heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add cream (see ingredients) and crushed peppercorns, then cook until warmed and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
• Slice venison steak. • Divide roasted veggies, steak and nutty greens between plates. • Spoon peppercorn sauce over steak to serve. Enjoy!
