BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut half-moons and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and starting to crisp, 30-35 minutes.
TOASTY NUTS
Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
DRESSING
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, the mustard, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.
BUTTER & SAGE BEEF
When the roast has 3-5 minutes left, place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the beef strips dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the beef until browned, 30-60 seconds (shifting occasionally). In the final 30 seconds, baste with a knob of butter and the rinsed sage. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices and the crispy sage leaves. Season.
BRILLIANT DINNER
Make a bed of the shredded leaves. Top with the cucumber ribbons, the roasted veg and the beef strips along with the remaining pan juices. Drizzle over the mustard dressing, and scatter over the toasted nuts and the crumbled goat’s cheese. Garnish with the crispy sage. Enjoy, Chef!
