Main courseServes 4

Pumpkin and Wensleydale mash

# Peel, wash and cut the potatoes. Boil until soft. Drain well. # Peel and de-seed the pumpkin half. Cut into pieces and boil until soft. Drain well. # Mix the potato and pumpkin in a pan and reheat slightly until any excess moisture has been removed. # Mash the potato mix, season with salt and pepper and add approximately 40g butter and 40ml double cream. Mix well to make a nice light mash. # Grate 200g Wensleydale cheese and add to the mash. Leave some cheese to sprinkle over the mashed potato on the plate.

The steaks

# Season the 4 steaks with salt and pepper. # Add a tablespoon of oil to a very hot pan and then place the steaks in it, frying at full heat until they are golden brown, then turn the steaks over and repeat. # Add 50g butter to the pan and cook the steaks for a further minute. # Remove from the pan then place on a tray and finish in the oven at 180°C for 4-9 minutes depending on how you like your steak. Alternatively cook under a hot grill.

Sautéed carrots and squash with mustard grain tarragon sauce

# Peel and slice the carrots then cook in salted water until they are al dente. Check the seasoning and serve with some finely chopped parsley. # Peel the squash and slice. Sauté in a pan with some chopped sage, butter and salt and pepper. # Using the pan with the steak juices inside, add a glass of red wine and reduce down until there is hardly any juice left, approximately 2 tablespoons. # Next add 1/4 pint of beef stock. If you do not have time to make your own this can be purchased from a supermarket as a fresh stock or failing that a stock cube will do! # Reduce again, and by this time your steaks will have been removed from the oven and any excess juices from the tray should be added to the sauce as the steaks rest. # Add a couple of tablespoons of double cream to enrich the sauce, 2 tablespoons of whole grain mustard for the main flavour and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh tarragon leaves. # Boil for 30 seconds or so until a thick, herby, creamy mustard sauce is obtained. # Season if necessary.

To serve

# Put the steaks on 4 warmed plates. # Place the mashed potato on the plate, sprinkling the excess Wensleydale cheese over the top and pour the sauce around. # Place the squash and carrots on to the plate and serve.

Grilled Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Main courseServes 6

# Mix all the marinade ingredients together and rub into the meat. # Put this in a plastic bag or covered bowl and into the fridge for anything between 1-24 hours nearer 24 is better! # Take the meat out of the fridge well before cooking, to allow it to come back up to room temperature. # For the sauce, coarsely chop the herbs, and pound together in a pestle and mortar until well mixed, with some of the olive oil to loosen. # Add the rest of the ingredients, including the rest of the oil and season well to taste. # If there's lots of marinade, wipe the excess off and bring the bbq or griddle pan to smoking hot. # Cook the steak to your liking, and make sure you let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking, just on a carving board, loosely covered in some foil will do it.
