Recipe Sarah Todd

Ingredients

  • oil, for frying

  • 400 g brussels sprouts, dried, halved, and trimmed

  • flaky sea salt

  • 250 g sirloin steak

cider vinaigrette

  • 1/4 cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1 tsp curry powder

  • 1 medium shallot, fine brunoise

  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp orange zest

  • salt and black pepper

  • 1/4 cup raw hazelnuts, toasted

  • ½ tsp chilli flakes, crushed

Method

  • Crumble the bacon into fine crumbs using your fingers or pulse in a food processor. Toss with a pinch of red chilli flakes.

  • Meanwhile, fry the sprouts. In a fry pan, heat 2cm of oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, carefully add 1/3 of the brussels sprouts. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat with the remaining sprouts.

  • To make the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a glass jar and whisk or shake to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  • Season steak and sear in a piping hot grill, allow to rest and thinly slice to serve.

  • To serve, arrange the sprouts on a serving plate and lightly toss with the vinaigrette. Top with steak, pomegranate and dollop of yoghurt
