MASH
Place the Butternut pieces in a pot of salted water over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
STEAK
When the Butternut has 10 minutes remaining, return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the rump until browned all over, 6-8 minutes (shifting as it colours). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
SAUCE
Boil the kettle. Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a knob of butter. Once melted, stir in the crushed black pepper, the Beef stock, and 50ml of boiling water. Simmer until the sauce has reduced, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the crème fraîche. Season, add a sweetener (optional), and cover.
SALAD
In a bowl, combine the shredded salad leaves, the chopped artichokes, ½ the toasted sunflower seeds, the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
YUM!
Plate up the steak slices drizzled with the pepper sauce. Serve with the mash and the fresh salad. Sprinkle over the remaining seeds. Time to dine, Chef!
