This is such an amazing beef dish. I've often served it at dinner parties on a wooden chopping board half-carved to impress guests. I think the perfect cooking time is 25 minutes. It's best accompanied by a fresh green salad, and if your after further comfort food, a smooth potato mash that incorporates butter and cream cheese.
