by Hereford Beef
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 large Hereford Beef sirloin steaks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10-12 spears asparagus
- 3 large waxy potatoes
- A knob of grass-fed butter
- 1 teaspoon of peppercorns
- A glug of brandy
- 100ml of double cream
- 3-4 large potatoes
- 2 heaped tablespoons of goose fat
- Ground salt and pepper to season
Method
- Start your Valentines treat for two by preparing your chips. Preheat your oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7 and place your goose fat into a baking tray, allowing it to melt while your oven heats.
- Chop your potatoes into chunky chips and then place on the tray of what should be now melted goose fat.
- Add a dash of salt for 1 hour and intermittently turn in the oil throughout this time (turn the heat down if they’re getting too crispy too quickly).
- Take a griddle pan and put on a high heat adding a tablespoon of olive oil, once the pan is hot add your asparagus spears and sear 1-2 minutes on each side. Once nicely charred add to a tray on the lower shelf of your oven for the last 5-10 minutes of your chips cooking time.
- Using the same pan put your salt and pepper seasoned Hereford Beef sirloin steaks in on a high heat. Cooking times for your steaks depend on how you like it, we’ve made this easy guide:
- Blue - Pinkest: 1 minute each side
- Rare - Mostly pink: 1.5 minutes per side
- Medium rare - Still quite pink: 2 minutes per side
- Medium - A bit pink: About 2.5 minutes per side
- Well-done - No longer pink: 4-5 mins each side
