Roast the carrots and mushrooms Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) . Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey/maple syrup if using. Spread on half of the tray. Place the portobello mushrooms on the other half, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes , turning once halfway through. Mushrooms should be tender and juicy; carrots caramelized and golden. 2. Grill the beef While vegetables roast, heat a grill pan or barbecue over high heat . Toss beef strips with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side , or until cooked to your liking (medium-rare to medium recommended). Rest for a few minutes before serving to keep tender and juicy. 3. Steam and fry the broccolini Bring a small pot of water to a boil, and lightly steam broccolini for 2–3 minutes until bright green. Drain well. Heat butter and olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat . Add the broccolini and sauté for 2–3 minutes , seasoning with salt and pepper until slightly crisp on the edges. 4. Serve Plate each portion with a serving of grilled beef strips, a whole roasted mushroom, a few roasted carrots, and a generous side of buttery broccolini. Drizzle any beef or mushroom juices over the top for extra flavor. Optional Garnish Sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme before serving. Add a squeeze of lemon over the broccolini for brightness.
