  1. START THE GRAVY TRAIN

    Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 150ml of boiling water. Place the Cornflour in a small bowl and gradually mix in 5ml of the diluted stock until a runny paste. Set aside. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced Onion until caramelised, 7-8 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  2. PICKING UP SPEED

    When the Onion is caramelised, add the grated garlic to the pan and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting continuously). Stir in the diluted stock and the Cornflour slurry. Lower the heat and reduce until slightly thickened, 6-8 minutes (stirring occasionally). Season with a sweetener. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside.

  3. MAKE SOME FANCY FRIES

    Place a pot or pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. Once hot, fry the Potato matchsticks until golden and crispy, 7-10 minutes. Drain on paper towel and toss through the grated cheese, ½ the chopped parsley, and seasoning.

  4. FAB FILLET

    Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the fillet dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the fillet until browned all over, 6-8 minutes (shifting as it colours). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  5. FRESH SIDE

    In a salad bowl, combine the shredded leaves, the Radish rounds, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.

  6. DIG IN!

    Serve up the fillet slices. Pour over the Onion gravy. Side with the shoestring fries and the fresh salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and there you have it!
