WHAT A GEM
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the deseeded gem squash halves on a roasting tray, cut-side up. Lightly drizzle with oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until soft, 25-30 minutes. At the halfway mark, pop a small knob of butter into each half and return to the oven for the remaining time.
THAT TOASTY TASTE
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SAUTÉ AWAY
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the shredded Spinach until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.
RAISE THE Spinach STANDARD
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Return the sautéed Spinach to the pan along with the crème fraîche and 100ml of warm water. Reduce the heat and simmer until starting to thicken, 5-6 minutes. Loosen with a splash of water if too thick. Remove and season.
BASTE THE Beef
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Beef strips dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the beef until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 30 seconds, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices, and season.
