Rosemary Rib-Eye Steak with Horseradish Fennel Salad

June 23

This classic combination of rich meat with creamy horseradish is transformed into a vibrant salad with thinly shaved fennel.  For the perfectly steak make sure to bring them to room temperature by removing them from the fridge 30 minutes before I want to cook them.

Method

  1. 1. Trim the rib-eye steaks of any excess fat, then place in a non-metallic dish and add the olive oil, garlic and rosemary. Cover with cling film and leave marinate while you prepare the salad.
  2. 2. Mix the olive oil and vinegar in a screw-topped jar with salt and pepper. Trim down the heads of fennel and then using the thinnest setting of a mandolin, shave into thin slices. Place in a bowl and coat with the dressing.
  3. 3. Shake off any excess marinade and season to taste. Grill, barbecue or pan-fry the steaks over a fierce heat for 3-4 minutes either side for medium rare, or to your liking. Remove from the pan, place on a plate, cover with tin foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes in a warm place.
  4. 4. For the horseradish sauce, mix the yoghurt in a bowl with the horseradish, mustard, lemon juice and enough salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the rocket salad on plates, top with the dressed fennel.
  5. 5. Carve the steaks into slices and put them alongside and a good dollop of the horseradish sauce to serve, garnish with some fronds of fennel herb.
