- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Place large heavy based saucepan over high heat. Add oil and heat until almost smoking hot.
Season steak with salt and pepper and brown on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
Add onion and reduce heat to medium high. Cook for 4-5 minutes until onion is soft. Add celery and cook for a further 3 minutes. Add rosemary and semi-dried tomato sauce and cover.
Simmer for 45 minutes until meat has softened. Add potatoes and 1/2 cup water and cook, covered, for 20 minutes or until meat is fork tender and potatoes are cooked through. Remove rosemary and season. Divide evenly between four serving bowls and garnish with parsley.
