Serves: 2
Ingredients:
2 ribeye, sirloin, rump or fillet steaks
20ml vegetable oil
50g butter
1 clove garlic
1 sprig of thyme
1 sprig of rosemary
Rosti potato:
1 large Maris Piper potato
100ml sunflower oil
Salt and pepper
Peppercorn sauce:
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 tsp crushed black peppercorns
1 tbsp brandy
150ml beef stock or 1 stock cube dissolved
50ml double cream
Salt
Method:
1) To prepare the Rosti, first peel and grate the potato. Add the potato to a bowl and allow cold running water to run over the potato to remove the starch. Once the water runs clear place the grated potato onto a tea towel and squeeze as much water out as possible. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, this will draw more moisture out of the potato. Leave for 5 minutes and squeeze to remove any remaining liquid.
2) Place a thick-based frying pan on the hot plate and add the sunflower oil. Once hot, place the grated potato mix in the centre of the pan and using a spatula, gently press the mix down, cook for 3-4 minutes before flipping over. Each side should be golden brown and crispy.
3) Once browned, slide the pan over to the simmer plate and continue cooking for around 5 minutes on each side, making sure it is cooked through.
4) To make the sauce, place a saucepan on the hot plate and add the oil. Once hot add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes, add the crushed black peppercorns followed by the brandy, keep on a high heat to burn the alcohol off. After a minute add the stock and bring back to the boil, add the cream and boil for a further 2 minutes. Slide the pan over to the simmer plate and allow to reduce to the thickness of your liking, taste and add seasoning if needed.
5) To cook the steaks, heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and add a little oil. Sear for 2 minutes on each side for rare, 4 for medium and 6 for well done. Increase timing if using a thicker cut.
Serve with roasted tomato and grilled asparagus.
