Nitída’s Beef Sirloin
with a Bordelaise-style sauce & roasted veg
The French are famous for their culinary skills with sauces, and today’s recipe pays tribute to their talent with a Bordelaise-inspired sauce made with red wine, infused with herbs & cooked with a rich beef stock. This will be poured over a seared beef sirloin, served with creamy feta, crisp greens & cucumber salad and oven-roasted potato & butternut. Best enjoyed with Nitída’s recommended wine pairing.

Butternut & POTATO
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut and potato pieces out on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
TOASTED SEEDS
Place the seed mix in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

Boil the kettle. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the leeks and fry until softened, 3-4 [4-5]|#7DA0D7 minutes (shifting occasionally).
