Steps

1. 1

   Season the steak with oil and a generous amount of the listed salt, then place it on a baking tray.

2. 2

   Put the steak in an oven set to 135°C. Cook until its core temperature reaches 37°C; use a probe thermometer to check.

3. 3

   While the steak cooks, peel and chop the sweet potato. Boil it until tender, about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the broccoli to the boiling water with the sweet potato. Remove the broccoli after 3–5 minutes; continue cooking the sweet potato until tender if needed.

5. 5

   Season the cooked sweet potato with the garlic butter, spring onions, coriander, a pinch of salt, garlic powder, paprika, and chilli flakes.

6. 6

   Season the steak with the listed black pepper.

7. 7

   Pan-sear the steak, turning it constantly, until its core temperature reaches 52°C.

8. 8

   As you sear, baste the steak with 2 tablespoons butter, 5 garlic cloves, and a few sprigs of rosemary.

9. 9

   Rest the steak for 10–15 minutes, then slice it.

10. 10

    Serve the sliced steak with the sweet potato, broccoli, and peppercorn sauce.

Notes

The source does not specify the steak cut or weight, amount of oil, amount of broccoli, or quantity of peppercorn sauce. It lists a teaspoon of crème but gives no clear instruction for using it. Steak temperature is specified in the source; no separate oven unit is given beyond 135 degrees, interpreted as Celsius because the stated core temperatures are Celsius.
