  • 2 tablespoons horseradish sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  4. Place beef on prepared baking tray, cook in oven for 3–4 minutes, turn over, then roast a further 3–4 minutes for medium-rare (depending on thickness) or until cooked to your liking. Rest for 5 minutes.
  5. While beef is cooking, cook broccoli in pot of boiling water for 2–3 minutes, or until bright green and tender, drain well.
  6. Heat butter in same pan used for beef, on medium heat. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute or until golden, then add broccoli and spinach leaves, stir-fry for 1 minute or until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
