Method

step 1

Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the shallots to the pan and season. Fry gently for about 10-12 minutes until soft, golden and caramelized. Splash the vinegar in and bubble down until totally evaporated.
step 2

Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan. Season the steaks and rub in a tsp of oil. Griddle for 2-3 minutes each side for medium rare, or until cooked to your liking. Put to one side to rest.
step 3

Mix the crème fraîche with the horseradish. Griddle the bread for a minute or two on each side until lightly toasted. Spread a little horseradish cream over each piece of toast, then spoon over the shallot mixture. Slice the steak and put on top. Add a handful of rocket and drizzle over any remaining horseradish sauce.
