Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a large ovenproof heavy-based saucepan. Add the beef and cook, turning, for 5 mins or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Step 3

    Cook the onion, celery, garlic and mushrooms in the pan for 5 mins or until onion softens. Return the beef to pan with the passata and shredded basil. Bring to the boil. Cover. Transfer to the oven and cook for 1 hour. Uncover and cook for a further 30 mins or until the sauce thickens and beef is cooked to your liking.
  4. Step 4

    Cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins or until tender, adding the broccoli for the last 8 mins of cooking. Drain. Return the sweet potato and broccoli to the pan. Use a potato masher or fork to mash. Stir in the butter and sour cream. Season.
  5. Step 5

    Thickly slice the beef. Divide the sweet potato mash among serving plates. Top with the beef and spoon over the sauce. Sprinkle with basil leaves to serve.
