Ingredients
- 1 litre chicken stock*
- 1 x 225g pack rump steak, fat trimmed
- 3 tsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
- 150g polenta
- 100g shredded kale, woody stalks discarded
- 50g Parmesan, finely grated
Step by step
- Bring the stock to the boil in a medium saucepan. Meanwhile, put the steak on a plate, drizzle over 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and add half the garlic, the rosemary and some seasoning. Rub on both sides, and set aside.
- Tip the polenta into the boiling stock, then cook on a medium heat for 15 minutes, whisking frequently; the more you whisk, the smoother the polenta will become.
- Meanwhile, heat a frying pan for 2 minutes, with no oil, on a medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side (depending on taste). Sear the fat, holding the steak on its side with tongs for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and leave to rest on a warm plate, loosely covered with foil.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in the same frying pan on a low-medium heat. Add the kale, cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining garlic and some seasoning for the final minute – add a splash of water if it starts to catch.
- Add the Parmesan to the polenta and continue to whisk while the steak is resting, season to taste. Slice the steak into 1cm thick slices.
-
Pour the polenta into 2 deep plates, or shallow bowls, top with the kale and sliced steak to serve.Tip*Use gluten-free stock if required
