step 1
Cook the steak: Temper the New York Strip Steak (10 oz) for 1 hour before cooking. Season generously with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 2
Heat a cast iron skillet over a high heat and add Olive Oil (to taste).
step 3
Place the steak in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side so a crust forms. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest.

Cook potatoes: Roughly chop the Smoked Bacon (4 slices) and cook gently in a little Grapeseed Oil (as needed) until crisp.
step 5
Remove the bacon, set aside and reserve the fat.
step 6
Boil the Baby Potato (1 handful) until tender, drain and slice into discs. Leave to cool slightly, then fry in the bacon fat until golden and crisp.
step 7
For the carrots: Put the carrots into a pan with the Chicken Stock (1 cup), Butter (1 Tbsp), and Granulated Sugar (1 pinch).
step 8
Bring the Baby Carrots (5) to a boil then simmer until tender. Season with a pinch of Salt (1 pinch).
step 9
For the sauce: Fry the Shallot (1) and Fresh Thyme (2 sprigs) for 3-4 minutes until soft.
step 10
Pour in the Beef Stock (2 cups), bring to the boil and reduce by half.
step 11
Strain into a clean pan and whisk in the Butter (1 Tbsp).
step 12
For the squid: Toss the Baby Squids (4) in seasoned All-Purpose Flour (as needed) then shake off the excess.

Remove from the fryer oil and season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
