HANGER STEAK WITH CAULIFLOWER AND ROASTED GRAPES

Ingredients
  • 150g/5½oz red grapes
  • broken into small bunches
  • 700g/1lb 9oz hanger steaks (or bavette or onglet)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large cauliflower
  • broken into florets
  • stalk roughly chopped
  • 400ml/14fl oz double cream
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • peeled
  • 75g/2½oz butter
  • 100g/3½oz raclette cheese
  • 1 tsp yeast extract
  • 15g/½oz Parmesan
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
  • Pick out about 200g/7oz of the small and medium-sized cauliflower florets that have a good circular shape and set aside.
  • To make the cauliflower mash
  • place the remaining florets and the stalk in a saucepan. Pour in the cream
  • add the garlic and 50g/1¾oz of the butter. Simmer over a medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the raclette cheese and plenty of salt and pepper. Cook for a further 5 minutes
  • or until the cauliflower is soft.
  • Add the contents of the pan to a blender and blend to a purée. Push through a sieve into a clean pan
  • ready to reheat to serve.
  • To make the roasted cauliflower
  • bring a large pan of water to the boil
  • add the reserved florets and cook for 2–3 minutes
  • or until tender. Drain and return to the pan with the remaining butter and the yeast extract. Stir until the butter has melted and the florets are coated. Tip into a small roasting tin and roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Grate the Parmesan all over before serving.
  • Meanwhile
  • place the grapes in a separate roasting tin and roast in the oven for 15 minutes
  • or until sticky and soft.
  • Heat a griddle pan over a very high heat and season the steaks with salt and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes on each side – this type of steak is best served very rare or it will become tough.
  • Rest the steaks for 10 minutes
  • before slicing and serving with the cauliflower mash
  • roasted florets and grapes.
