Method

  1. Heat a griddle pan until very hot, season the steak, then fry for 1½-2½ mins each side for rare to medium. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 mins, before thinly slicing.
  2. Make the dressing by whisking the crème fraîche, horseradish sauce and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Tip in the parsnip and dates, then toss together with some seasoning. Divide the leaf salad between 2 plates with the parsnip salad on top. Lay the sliced beef over the salad and finish with a scattering of mint leaves.

Dates

Medjool dates are in season at Christmas and give a rich syrupy flavour to the salad, which works especially well with the beef.

    Wow, this was a very quick, easy recipe for the Saturday evening. Not only that but it was different, chic and delicious. Would eat this again. Needless to say there were no left-overs.
