For the steaks, crush the peppercorns and allspice berries in a mortar. Spread the mixture out on a board and press the steaks into it, turning to coat both sides. Peel and quarter the garlic.

Reduce the heat and fry for a further 2 to 4 minutes each side. Sprinkle the steaks with salt. Then take out of the pan, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to rest for 5 - 10 minutes.

Cook the French fries according to the instructions on the packet.

Cook the broccoli in boiling, salted water for about 5 minutes, until al dente.
