  1. ROASTED VEGGIES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Place the Butternut chunks and the Onion wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. MAKE IT SAUCY

    Place a pan over a medium heat with the stock, 50ml of boiling water, and the tarragon. Leave to simmer for 2-3 minutes, until slightly reduced. Remove from the heat and add the mustard and ½ the Balsamic Vinegar (to taste). Mix until fully combined. Season to taste, place in a bowl, and cover to keep warm for serving.

  3. FRY UP!

    Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the fillet dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, sear the fillet for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned all over, shifting as it colours. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.

  4. THE TOSS UP

    In a bowl, combine the shredded Salad Leaves, the remaining Balsamic Vinegar, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
