Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Heat half the oil in a 2 litre ovenproof casserole dish over high heat. Add beef and cook in two batches, for 2 minutes, or until seared. Transfer to a heatproof plate.

2. Add onion and carrot to dish and cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Crush half the garlic and add with oregano to dish, stirring for 30 seconds. Add stock, return beef to dish and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir in broccoli. Bake, covered, for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender. Remove from oven.

3. Quarter parsnips lengthways. Using a small sharp knife, remove woody centres. Chop coarsely, steam parsnip with remaining garlic for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Place in a heatproof bowl with remaining oil and extra stock. Using an electric stick mixer, purée until smooth. Serve with beef casserole.

Tip: Searing meat first locks in flavour and gives colour to the meat.
