Instructions: 1. To make pumpkin crisps, use a potato peeled and peel "ribbons" of pumpkin.

Heat oil to 180deg.C. and deep fry pumpkin until golden crisp. Set aside.

2. Cut the remaining pumpkin into pieces and boil in a pot.

3. In a hot pan seal the eye fillet on all sides. Place meat in the oven for approximately 20 minutes at 200deg.C. for a medium steak. If the pan is not ovenproof, transfer meat to a tray for the oven.

4. When pumpkin is soft, mash with the saffron. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Place mash on a plate, then top with the beef. In the same pan, add the jus and peppercorns and reduce slightly. Pour over beef and garnish with pumpkin crisps.

Hotel.
