Method
- STEP 1Begin with the cabbage. Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Melt the butter in a casserole dish over a medium heat and then add the garlic and onion to soften for around 5-10 minutes.
- STEP 2Add the cabbage and fennel to the casserole. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10-15 minutes.
- STEP 3Stir in the vinegar and seasoning and then cover and place in the oven for between and hour and 90 minutes.
- STEP 4While the cabbage cooks, start on the fondant potatoes. Heat the butter over a medium heat in a saucepan until it is foaming. Fry the potatoes in the butter for just over five minutes on each side.
- STEP 5When the potatoes have a golden brown appearance, pour the stock over them and add the garlic, thyme and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat, cover the pan and let it simmer for around 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
- STEP 6Meanwhile, combine the black pepper, crushed almonds and chopped spring onion in a mixing bowl.
- STEP 7Divide the rump steak into two 125g steaks and brown on either side in a frying pan.
- STEP 8Cover the tops of the steaks with the black pudding and almond crust and roast in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove the steaks and sprinkle them with salt.
- STEP 9To make the sauce, add the red wine to any juices from the meat and bring it to the boil. Reduce the wine by half and then add the stock.
- STEP 10Stir in the 5g of chocolate until it has melted into the sauce and then add the butter. Whisk the butter into the sauce until it has a smooth, creamy consistency, being careful not to overheat it and allow the sauce to separate.
