MethodFor the Potato Rösti
Boil the unpeeled potatoes in enough water to cover them for 10-15 mins until cooked but still firm. Drain & allow to cool. Fry the onion with the green onion seasoning in the butter & olive oil for 5 mins until soft. When the potato has cooled enough to handle, coarsely grate the potatoes with their skins into a large mixing bowl (discard the last part of the skin). Add the onion to the mixing bowl, sift in the flour, break in the egg and season with salt & pepper. Blend well with a fork. Heat a large frying pan until very hot & add half the butter & oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the potato mixture & flatten it to fill the pan. Turn the heat down to medium, cook until brown & firm then slide the rösti from the pan onto a dinner plate. Re-heat the pan, add the remaining butter & oil to cover the bottom of the pan and then invert the rösti into the pan to cook and brown the other side. Keep warm. If preferred, make 4 individual röstis. For the Steak Strips Diagonally cut the steaks at a 45° angle into 1½-2cm strips. Smother with the olive oil & barbeque spice. Heat a frying pan until very hot and sear the steak quickly on both sides. Remove quickly from the heat and leave in the warm pan to rest until serving. For the Horseradish Sauce In a bowl, mix the cream, horseradish & green onion seasoning together well. To serve, divide the rösti into 4 & place a portion on each plate. Drizzle with steak juices & top with horseradish sauce, steak strips, radishes & rocket. |
