Ingredients

Fondant potatoes

  • 8 large baking potatoes (or 16 smaller ones)
  • 150 g butter, preferably clarified
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • Salt

Beef tartare

  • 300 g beef topside
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp shallot, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

To serve

  • Truffle or tarragon mayonnaise
  • A few fresh herbs or small leaves, to garnish

Instructions

Fondant potatoes

  • Cut the potatoes into equal-sized rectangles - about 2 1/2 cm thick.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the rosemary and garlic and let it foam up.
  • Brown the potatoes well on all sides over a fairly high heat until they are golden all over – season with salt.
  • Transfer the potatoes to an ovenproof dish, pour the contents of the pan over them, and bake in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 180°C for about 30 minutes.
    Pierce the potatoes with a skewer to check they are tender - the cooking time can vary depending on their size.
    Add a little stock if needed, but not too much - the potatoes should stay crisp.

Beef tartare

  • Trim the meat of any sinew or membrane and cut it into small dice.
  • Toss it with the olive oil, mustard, chives and shallot, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

To serve

  • First let the potatoes cool slightly on a wire rack. They can happily sit for an hour or so before serving.
  • Then top the potatoes with the tartare. Pipe small dots of mayonnaise on top - it is easiest to control from a piping bag or a squeezy tube.
  • Garnish with a few fresh herbs or small leaves and season with freshly ground pepper before serving.
