Ingredients
6 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
½ celeriac, peeled, cut into matchsticks
4 spring onions, sliced
½ cucumber, cut into matchsticks
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
handful basil leaves, roughly torn
6 radishes, thinly sliced
1 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
1 tsp dijon mustard
5 tbsp olive oil, plus a little extra for frying
1 tsp sesame oil
400g/14oz beef steak, whatever suits your budget, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 2cm-thick slices
2 little Gem lettuces, separated into leaves
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp unsalted cashew nuts or peanuts
Method
-
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and set aside. Put the celeriac, spring onions, cucumber, tomatoes, basil and radishes in a bowl.
-
Spoon the crème fraîche and mustard into a small bowl. Slowly mix in 3 tbsp of the olive oil, 1 tbsp at a time, then add the sesame oil and some seasoning. Spoon the dressing over the celeriac mixture and toss to coat the ingredients.
-
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and fry the potatoes until golden brown. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, fry the beef slices for 2 mins on each side for medium, or longer if you like well-done meat. Return the sautéed potatoes to the pan just as you finish cooking the beef, to warm them through.
-
Divide the lettuce leaves between 6 plates and top with the celeriac salad, slices of beef and sautéed potatoes. Quickly fry the shallots in a little olive oil for 1 min, then sprinkle over the soy sauce. Scatter the fried shallots and nuts over the salads and serve.
