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.
