CRISPY & DELISH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
ZING & CRUNCH
In a bowl (big enough for the salad), add the pickling liquid and seasoning. Toss through the diced tomatoes. Set aside to pickle. 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-A-LICIOUS
Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the fillet dry with paper towel and season. When hot, fry the fillet until browned, 2-3 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste the fillet with a knob of butter, the NOMU rub, and the grated garlic. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
BLANCH GREEN BEANS
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a splash of water. When starting to bubble, simmer the sliced green beans until cooked al dente, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
SALADY THINGS
To the bowl with the pickled tomatoes, add the rinsed leaves, the green beans, ½ the chopped parsley, 5ml of olive oil, and seasoning.
