METHOD

Sous-vide eye fillet

  1. Season the steaks and place into a large vacuum seal bag with a handful of thyme sprigs. Place in the vacuum sealing drawer and Vacuum on level 3 and Seal on level 3.
  2. Place the sealed bag onto a rack in the steam oven and Sous-vide at 55°C for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat a frying pan on high heat, induction setting 8, until very hot.
  4. Remove the steaks from the vacuum sealed bag and place on a plate lined with paper towel and dry the meat from its cooking juices.
  5. Oil and season the steaks and place in the frying pan for 20-30 seconds each side, or until you have a nice seared colour.

Cauliflower puree and salad

  1. Place half of the cauliflower in a bowl and toss with some oil to coat and a generous pinch of salt and place on a universal tray.
  2. Preheat the oven on Fan Grill at 200°C.
  3. Place the tray of cauliflower in the oven on shelf level 5 and grill for 10-12 minutes, or until you have a nice golden colour and the cauliflower has softened.
  4. Place the other half of the cauliflower florets into an unperforated steam tray with the butter, milk and salt and place into the steam oven. Steam at 100°C for 8 minutes.
  5. Strain the cauliflower, reserving the liquid.
  6. Place the cauliflower into a blender and blend until a smooth consistency is achieved. If necessary, add more liquid to adjust the consistency. Season to taste with salt.
  7. In a bowl, combine the grilled cauliflower, nuts, currants, herbs, lemon zest and tamarind. Mix evenly so everything is distributed and season with salt and pepper to taste.
