Boil a full kettle. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with 3-4 cm of boiling water covering the base. Place the carrot chunks in a colander over the pot, cover, and steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and soft. On completion, drain and return to the pot. Stir in a knob of butter or coconut oil (optional) and a splash of milk or water. Mash with a fork or potato masher until desired consistency. Season and cover to keep warm.
PICKLE & TOAST
In a bowl, add ½ the vinegar, 5ml of a sweetener of choice and 10ml of water. Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Add the sliced chilli and set aside to pickle. Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.
BRIGHT GREEN SAUCE
Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Remove from the pot and set aside. Return the pot to a high-heat, fill with boiling water, and add a pinch of salt. Once bubbling rapidly, blanch a ¼ of the shredded kale for 30 seconds. Drain on completion and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Using a tea towel, squeeze out the extra liquid from the kale. Place the squeezed kale in a blender with the fried garlic, remaining vinegar and 40ml of olive oil. Blend until smooth and saucy and season.
SIZZLING STEAK
Pat the steak dry with some paper towel. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down, for 3-5 minutes until crispy. Then, fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preference (this time frame may depend on the thickness of the steak). During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. Remove from the pan on completion and rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.
SAUTÉED GREENS
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the remaining shredded kale for 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted, shifting occasionally. Remove from the heat and season.
