OH, SWEET Butternut
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut half-moons on a roasting tray and nestle in the whole, unpeeled garlic clove. Coat in oil, ½ the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and golden, 30-35 minutes (flipping halfway).
SEEDS & SLURRY
Boil the kettle. Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until lightly browned, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. Dilute the stock with 85ml of boiling water. Place the Cornflour in a small bowl and mix in 1 tbsp of the diluted stock until a runny paste – this is called a slurry!
CLASSIC RED WINE SAUCE
When the Butternut reaches the halfway mark, remove the roasted garlic from the oven and squeeze out the flesh, discarding the skin. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 9-10 minutes. Add the garlic flesh and the picked thyme leaves, and fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the diluted stock, the red wine, and the cornflour slurry until well combined. Lower the heat slightly and reduce until thick and silky, 5-6 minutes (stirring occasionally). Remove the pan from the heat, cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.
PERFECT MEAT
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 remaining NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices, and season.
