Method
step 1
Whisk the yorkshire pudding ingredients together, except the oil, in a bowl with some seasoning. Leave to rest for 30 mins at room temperature. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6.
step 2
Toss the carrot batons with the olive oil, half of the herbs and some seasoning in a baking dish. Roast for 20-25 mins until tender and golden.
step 3
Heat an ovenproof frying pan over a high heat. Rub the steak with the veg oil and season. Sear the steak for 2 mins on both sides, then using tongs, hold the fatty side down for 2 mins to render. Melt the butter in the pan with the remaining herbs and spoon it over the steak. Transfer to the oven to cook with the carrots for 4-10 mins depending on its thickness and how you like it. Check with a temperature probe – 45-50C in the middle for rare, or 55C for medium. Set aside on a plate to rest.
step 4
Turn the oven up to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Drizzle a little veg oil into a 12-hole muffin tin and heat in the oven for 10 mins. In a serving bowl, whisk the ingredients together for the horseradish crème fraîche.
step 5
Transfer the batter to a jug and fill the holes of the prepared tin. Cook for 20 mins until puffed and golden. Serve the yorkies on a large board with the accompaniments in bowls.
