How it's done

Potatoes

Peel the potatoes, cut into approx. 2 cm pieces, cook uncovered in salted water for approx. 20 mins. until very soft. Drain the water, allow the residual moisture on the potatoes to evaporate by shaking the pan on the switched-off hob.

Mashed potatoes

Press the potatoes through a food mill or mash them with a potato masher. Pour the milk into a small pan, bring to the boil. Cut the butter into pieces, stir into the mash with the milk using a spoon, then season with salt.

Beetroot puree

Peel and chop the beetroot into approx. 2 cm pieces, cook uncovered in salted water for approx. 20 mins. until very soft, then drain. Place the beetroot with the butter into a measuring cup, purée, and season to taste. Mix the beetroot with a third of the mashed potatoes.

Create a marbled effect

Add the puree to the mashed potatoes, mix 2–3 times to create a marbled effect, cover and keep warm.

Entrecôtes

Preheat the oven to 60 °C, warm the platter and plates. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Season the meat, fry for approx. 2 mins. on each side. Remove the meat and keep warm. Reduce the heat and wipe the cooking fat from the pot.

Shallot jus

Add a dash of oil to the same pan. Peel the shallots, cut in half lengthwise, add to the pan, and sauté over a medium heat for approx. 8 mins. Pour in the wine, reduce for approx. 8 mins. Mix the cornflour with the water and stock, pour into the pan while stirring, cook for approx. 5 mins., season. Slice the entrecôtes, sprinkle with a little fleur de sel, serve with the mashed potatoes and shallots, and drizzle the sauce over the top.
