Ingredients
- 150g unsalted butter, softened
- 120g watercress
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Finely grated zest 1 lemon
- 300g British grass-fed onglet steak, cut into 2 equal steaks
- Olive oil for frying
- For the shoestring potatoes
- 400g maris piper potatoes, cut into fine strands with a julienne peeler 2 fresh rosemary sprigs, leaves very finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to dress
- Small bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 20g parmesan, grated
- Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Put the butter in a food processor with 80g of the watercress, the garlic, lemon zest and a pinch each of salt and pepper, then whizz until combined. Lay a sheet of cling film on the work surface, then spoon the butter along one edge. Roll up into a log, twist the ends to seal, then chill until needed.
- Spread out the potato strands on a large oven tray (or 2 smaller trays) and toss with the rosemary and 2 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, then bake for 10 minutes. Toss using a sturdy spatula (the potatoes can stick), then bake for 3-5 minutes more until some are completely crisp and others are softer. Finely chop 20g of the remaining watercress, then toss with the potatoes along with the parsley and parmesan.
- For the steak, heat a griddle pan over a high heat until smoking hot. Brush the steaks with a little olive oil and season well. Cook for 2½ minutes on one side, pressing down with a spatula to get a good colour, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes for medium-rare or until done to your liking. Transfer to a board and top with a couple of sliced discs of the watercress butter, then cover lightly with foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the shoestring potatoes and the rest of the watercress, dressed with a little olive oil.
- If you don’t have a julienne peeler, cut the potatoes very finely with a sharp knife.
- Stir leftover watercress butter into cooked rice or roast with chicken.
- The butter will keep in the fridge for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
