Ingredients

  • 50 blanched hazelnuts 
  •  chilli red deseeded roughly sliced
  • 85 watercress 
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil for griddling
  • tbsp balsamic vinegar 
  •  rump steaks 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • baking pan

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas
  2. Place the hazelnuts in a baking tray, then toast in the oven for 5-10 mins until golden (you can roast the garlic for the mash at the same time). Leave the nuts to cool a little.
  3. Put the cooled nuts, chilli, 50g of the watercress, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic and some seasoning in a food processor, then blitz until finely chopped. The mixture shouldnt be too smooth there should still be some texture to the nuts. Set aside.
  4. Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot. Rub the steaks with a little oil, then season both sides with salt. Cook the steaks on the griddle for 2 mins on each side this will give you medium rare (cook for 3 mins for medium or 4 mins for well done, if you prefer).
  5. Remove from the griddle, then sit on a plate for 5 mins to rest. Stir any juices from the resting steak into the pesto theyre delicious and shouldnt be wasted.
  6. To serve, divide the Roasted garlic mash (recipe, below) between 2 plates, top with a little watercress, then sit a steak across it. Top the steaks with a large tbsp of the pesto and drizzle the rest of the balsamic over.
