Cooking Steps

Cook the Beef
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Remove the beef from the fridge to allow it come to room temp. 
  • Transfer to a lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Roast on the middle shelf of the oven for 35-40 mins for medium. Add an extra 5 mins if you like it more well done.
  • Rest, wrapped loosely in foil, for at least 5 mins before slicing. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Beef is safe to eat when outside is browned.
Prep the Dauphinoise
2
  • Peel and slice the potatoes into ½ cm thick rounds. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • When the oil is hot, fry the garlic for 1 min.
  • Add the potato, creme fraiche and 125ml milk or water (per 2P). Season with ½ tsp salt (per 2P) and ½ tsp pepper (per 2P). Mix well.
  • Bring to a boil then cover and lower heat to medium. Stir often to prevent sticking. Simmer until potatoes are parboiled, 10-15 mins.
Roast the Carrot
3
  • Meanwhile, trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
  • Pop the carrots next to the roasting beef. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • Pop back in the oven, 20-25 mins.
  • Add the almonds in the last 5 mins to toast. 
  • Once roasted, toss the carrots and almonds together with the honey.
Bake the Dauphinoise
4
  • Carefully transfer the parboiled potatoes and sauce to an appropriately-sized oven dish.
  • Scatter over the cheese
  • Pop into the top shelf of the oven and bake until the sauce is bubbling and the potatoes are cooked through, 15-20 mins.

TIP: You want the dauphinoise to be 2-3 cm thick—keep this in mind when choosing an oven dish.

Assemble the Stuffing
5
  • While everything is roasting, pick the thyme leaves and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a knob of butter.
  • Add the thyme leaves and fry for 1 min.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add breadcrumbs, demi-glace (1 tbsp at a time) and salt to taste. Season with pepper and mix well.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Sandwich some of the stuffing between 2 slices of beef. Repeat with the remaining slices and stuffing. 
  • Divide between plates and serve with the honeyed carrots and potato dauphinoise. 
  • Serve any remaining demi-glace on the side.
