- 2 pink peppercorns
- 2 Black peppercorns
- 1/2 small red Onion, roughly chopped
For the chilli onions
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 small red Onion, sliced
- 2 Spring onions, halved lengthways
- 2 button Shallots, sliced
- 1 tsp caster sugar
For the deep fried cabbage
For the beef
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 x 160g Beef fillet
- 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
Method
1. Place the beef stock in a pan with the peppercorns and onion. Bring to the boil and simmer. Reduce by half, skimming occasionally. Remove from the heat, strain and set aside.2. For the onions, preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6. Place the vegetable oil, onions and shallots in a roasting tin and roast for 10 minutes, stirring once. Add the sambal and sugar and stir to combine.
3. Turn the oven down to 170C/gas 3. Continue cooking the onions until soft and caramelised. Remove from the oven and leave on one side.
4. For the cabbage, heat a 10cm-deep layer of vegetable oil in a large saucepan, placed over a medium heat. Deep-fry the cabbage until golden brown, and drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with the sugar and salt.
5. For the beef, heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a frying pan placed over a high heat. Season the fillet and sear briefly on each side. For rare steak, 2-3 minutes on each side should be about right. Cook the steaks for longer if you prefer well-cooked meat.
6. To finish, add the onions and shallots to the sauce and reheat.
7. Serve the fillet with the onions and fried cabbage, and drizzle over the sauce.
