Cook for about 2 minutes each side for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside to rest, covered with foil, for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Return pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add courgette, onion and garlic and cook for 3–4 minutes, until starting to caramelise.
  6. Add broccoli, tomato and second measure of Spanish spice mix and cook a further 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat, add basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. Spoon vegetables and honey roasted parsnip onto a plate. Top with Spanish-rubbed beef and a dollop of red pepper aioli.
