Ingredients

Parmesan Fries

  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • 200g potatoes, cut into chips
  • 1/2 parsnip, cut into chips
  • 1/2 Tbsp thyme, roughly chopped
  • 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan

Beef

  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • 300g beef eye fillet

Black Garlic Yoghurt

  • 50g yoghurt
  • 1/4 pack black garlic, minced

Seasonal Greens

  • 1/2 broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1/2 pack chopped walnuts
  • 50g baby spinach

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake).
  2. Cut potatoes and parsnip into thick chips and roughly chop thyme. Toss all together with Parmesan and oil on a lined oven tray and bake in oven for 25-30 minutes, until tender and golden.
  3. Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a medium frypan on medium-high heat. Cook beef for about 3 minutes each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness, or until cooked to your liking. Rest covered and reserve pan.
  4. Mince black garlic and combine in a small bowl with yoghurt and a pinch of salt. Set aside for serving.
  5. Cut broccoli into small florets. When beef has cooked, return reserved pan to medium heat. Add oil and broccoli and cook for about 2 minutes without moving, until charred. Turn broccoli, add walnuts and a splash of water and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until broccoli is tender and charred. Toss through baby spinach to wilt and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Chips with steak and greens. Spoon over black garlic yoghurt.
