Instructions
Place the steaks into the SousVide bag and seal. Place in the oven and set to SousVide at 54°C for 1 hour.
Mix together the softened butter with the peppercorns, parsley and ground black pepper. Form into a sausage shape in greaseproof paper and place in the fridge to set.
Place the potatoes in a pan of cold water and bring up to the boil, simmer for 3 minutes and drain. Leave to steam dry.
Whilst drying pour out 60ml of rapeseed oil into a roasting tray and heat to 200°C in the oven at 1⁄4 steam setting.
Pour in the potato cubes, add the rosemary, salt and pepper, toss together and return to the oven for 20 minutes or until golden and coloured.
In a large frying pan reduce the red wine until sticky and syrupy, then add the stock and reduce by 3⁄4 of the volume. Whisk in the cold butter until combined, keep warm.
Place your green beans into a steam tray on the full steam setting for 10 minutes or boil in salted water for 3-4 minutes. Remove or drain and toss in butter before serving.
Remove the steaks from the SousVide bag, drizzle with rapeseed oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear in a frying pan on a high heat until golden and coloured. This will give you perfect rare to medium rare result. If you prefer your steak cookedto‘medium’thenjust increasetheoventemperature to 58°C or 63°C if you prefer it ‘well done’.
Serve steaks with potatoes and green beans, drizzle the sauce around the plate to present.
