ROASTY & TOASTY POTATOES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the halved baby potatoes and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
THE STEAKS ARE HIGH
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the steak, fat-side down, until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the steak and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter (optional). Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
BÉARNAISE SAUCE
Place a pot over medium-low heat and cover the base with 2cm of water. Place a heatproof bowl over the pot of water. Add 1 egg yolk and the wine & vinegar. Whisk in a cube of butter at a time, stirring constantly. Only add the next butter cube when the previous one has melted. Remove the bowl from the pot of simmering water. Continue whisking until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the dried tarragon (to taste), a sweetener, and seasoning. Loosen with a splash of warm water if too thick.
TOSS IT TOGETHER
In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Toss through the rinsed green leaves, the cucumber ribbons, the radish rounds, the crumbled feta, and ½ the pumpkin seeds.
GRAB THE PLATES
Plate up the seared steak slices and dollop over some of the béarnaise sauce. Side with the dressed salad and the roasted baby potatoes and onion wedges. Sprinkle over the remaining pumpkin seeds. Serve with the remaining béarnaise sauce for dunking. Go on, Chef!
