Premium Fillet Steak & Pumpkin-Thyme Gratin for Dinner

• Meanwhile, pick and thinly slice thyme leaves. Finely chop garlic. Trim green beans. Peel black garlic. • In a small bowl, mash black garlic with a fork until smooth, then add mayonnaise. Stir to combine and set aside. • In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) with a drizzle of olive oil, then season.

• When the pumpkin has 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the butter, thyme and garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the plain flour and cook, stirring, until a thick paste forms, 2 minutes. • Remove the pan from heat, then slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Stir through the salt and grated Parmesan cheese, then season with pepper. • Add the roasted pumpkin and gently stir to coat. Transfer mixture to a baking dish. • Evenly top with the panko crumb, then bake until golden and bubbling, 10-15 minutes.

• Meanwhile, wash and dry the frying pan, then return to high heat. Season premium fillet steak, then add to the hot pan. Sear steak until browned, 1 minute on all sides. • Transfer to the lined oven tray and roast for 8-10 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. • Remove the steak from the oven and set aside to rest.

TIP: The meat will keep cooking while it rests!

• While the steak is roasting, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook green beans, tossing, until just tender, 5-6 minutes. Season to taste.

TIP: Add a dash of water to help speed up the cooking process.
