Dishes from this MasterChef ™ contestant

NY Strip

NY Strip with Sautéed Spinach, Artichoke Purée, Braised Fennel and Black Garlic Jus


Gordon Ramsay demonstrated the cooking of this dish as follows:


"Right, next entree, New York strip. Sauteed spinach, artichoke puree, braised fennel, and finished with a black garlic jus. I get my New York strip into the pan and I'm going to sear for two minutes on each side, and then that goes in the oven. And now we baste. The butter's nice and brown. The flavour's going in from there. Beautiful sauteed garlic spinach. We just literally go on into the middle of the plate. I've got my beautiful artichoke puree, and then from there, take my steak, and then artichoke chips on top of the steak, and then finally, black garlic jus. And there we have a pan roasted delicious New York strip."
