Instructions

Fry the Shallot
1

a) Remove the steaks from your fridge to allow them to come up to room temperature.

b) Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.

c) Heat a drizzle of oil in a small saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, add the shallot and stir-fry until softened, 3-4 mins.

Cook the Steaks
2

a) Meawhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper.

b) Once very hot, lay the steaks into the pan and fry until browned and medium-rare, about 5 mins. Turn halfway through. TIP: Cook each side for 1 min more if you like it more well done.

c) Once cooked, transfer to a board, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. The steak is safe to eat when browned on the outside.

Make the Peppercorn Sauce
3

a) Once the shallot has softened, add the cracked black pepper to the saucepan and fry until fragrant, 1 min. Stir in the chicken stock paste and 100ml water, then simmer until reduced by half, 2-3 mins.

b) While the sauce simmers, finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

c) Lower the heat, then stir in the creme fraiche and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat and stir half the chives through your peppercorn sauce.

Assemble and Serve
4

a) Once the steak has rested, slice into 1cm thick slices.

b) Lay onto your serving platter.

c) Drizzle over the peppercorn sauce, then sprinkle over the remaining chives to finish.
