Instructions

Preparing the Beef Steak:

1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix together the garlic, sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, instant bouillon powder, and water. Marinate the beef steak in this mixture for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
2. Grill the Steak: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Making the Mashed Potatoes:

1. Cook the Potatoes: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mashed potatoes and stir well.
2. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the milk and add the grated cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Season: Add the black pepper, salt, and chopped parsley. Mix until evenly distributed. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Preparing the Mushroom Sauce:

1. Cook the Mushrooms: In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they start to soften.
2. Make the Sauce: Add the butter to the pan and let it melt. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously to form a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the flour is lightly browned.
3. Add Dairy: Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
4. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.

Preparing the Vegetables:

1. Cook the Vegetables: Boil the frozen vegetables in water until they are tender but not overcooked. Drain them well.
2. Season: Return the vegetables to the pan, add a tablespoon of margarine, and toss to coat evenly.

Serving:

• Plate the Dish: On each plate, serve a portion of beef steak alongside a generous serving of mashed potatoes. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the steak, and arrange the vegetables on the side.
• Garnish: Optionally, garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of black pepper.

This Beef Steak with Mushroom Sauce and Mashed Potatoes is a comforting and satisfying meal that pairs beautifully with a side of vegetables. Enjoy this hearty dish with family or friends for a truly delightful dining experience!
