NUTTERBUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse, deseed, peel (optional) and cut the butternut into half-moons. Spread the half-moons on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
A SALAD BALLAD
Rinse the cabbage, the blueberries, and the green leaves. Finely shred the rinsed cabbage and roughly shred the rinsed leaves. In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, the shredded leaves, the blueberries, the butternut half-moons, ½ the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
KEEP IT FRAICHE
In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche with the remaining lemon juice and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.
FROM A TO BEEF
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the beef chunks dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized pieces. When hot, sear the beef until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter (optional) and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices, season, and set aside.
ADD THE CRUNCH
Crumble ½ the beetroot crisps into the blueberry & cabbage salad and mix to combine. Crumble the rest into a small bowl and set aside.
