  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.

  5. HOORAY FOR FILET!

    Plate up the luscious beef fillet slices and drizzle over the tarragon sauce. Serve with the roasted onion and butternut alongside the dressed leaves. Well done, Chef!
