HERE'S HOW:
Line a medium-sized baking dish with baking paper, add the crushed garlic cloves into the butter. To make this bake you are going to coat each piece of potato in butter and layer them all into the tray, seasoning as you go. When the tray is full, gently press the bake down, add the rest of the butter and bake at 180°C for 35 minutes. The top should caramelise quite a lot.

Heat the olive oil and the butter in a saucepan, add the onions, garlic and peppercorns. Sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Add the sherry and cook for 5 minutes. Add the beef stock and cook for 10 minutes until reduced, add the cream, allow to simmer for 5 minutes, season.
For the seared steak:
1 or 2 T-bone, depending on size for serving of 4
1 tsp. olive oil
2 tsp. butter
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Seasoning to taste
To prepare the T-bone, heat the
olive oil on high heat, sear the T-bone on both
sides until caramel brown, add the butter,
garlic and seasoning, baste the T-bone until the
garlic is crispy. Finish off in the oven for 10
