Fillet Steak with Roasted Beets and Zingy Cottage Cheese
- 4 cooked beetroots (fewer if they're big)
- 1 A sprig of fresh rosemary (or 1tsp dried)
- 1 A small handful of fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 fillet steaks
- 300 ml cottage cheese
- 1 A sprig of fresh thyme
- 1/2 a lemon (zest and juice)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- PREHEAT the oven to 200C.
- Cut the beetroot into big chunks and place them in a roasting tray.
- Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkel over the rosemary and season.
- Whack the tray in the oven for 30 mins, shaking it around every now and then.
- MEANWHILE, make a start on the cottage cheese.
- Put the lemon zest and juice in a bowl along with the olive oil and picked thyme leaves.
- Once the beetroot has been in for about 10 minutes, make a start on the steaks.
- First season them heavily with salt and pepper.
- Put a frying pan on a medium heat and melt together a knob of butter and a glug of oil.
- Once the oil is hot put the steaks in and cook them (4 minutes on each side will be medium, so do more or less depending on your taste.
- That assumes that the steaks are about 2cm thick, so again adjust as necessary if they're thicker or thinner).
- Once the steaks are cooked, wrap them in foil and leave them to rest in a warm place.
- A couple of minutes before the beetroot is done finish off the cottage cheese.
- Add it to the bowl containing the lemon, etc.
- and gently mix it in.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When the beetroots are cooked, toss them in a bowl with the vinegar, oil, basil leaves and some seasoning.
- Plate up and enjoy!
