Instructions

Step 1

Fire up the Gozney to 345–370°C / 650–700°F. Burn the wood to embers and push to the back or side of the oven. Allow the flame to settle slightly for radiant heat, keeping a live flame for searing.

Step 2

To prepare the steak, pat it dry with kitchen paper. Tie the meat close to the bone with butcher’s twine if needed to hold its shape. To season, mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder and ground mustard. Rub all over the steak using either olive oil or mustard as a binder.

Step 3

To sear the steak, drizzle a a cast iron pan or plancha with oil and place in the oven until hot. Place the steak onto the pan and into the oven, sear for 2–3 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until deeply browned and caramelized. If the steak has a large amount of fat, place fat side up into the pan and allow to sit on the mantel to render fully. Allow the steak to rest now, half way through cooking whilst you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 4

Reduce the oven to 260–290°C / 500–550°F. For the roasted vegetables, drizzle a cast iron pan with oil and place into the oven until hot. Add in the carrots and the potatoes and season generously with salt, place into the oven for 8-12 minutes until charred and cooked through. Add a small splash of water to encourage the vegetables to steam.

Step 5

For the prawns, add the oil or ghee to the hot pan, followed by the onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft and translucent. To build the flavour, stir in the garlic, ginger, and chillies (if using), and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and heat. Add the spices, sprinkle in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, paprika, and cayenne or dehydrated scotch bonnet (if using). Stir continuously for 1 minute to toast the spices and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

To finish the steak add the butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme to the pan and baste the steak for another 4–8 minutes, flipping and turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 52°C / 125°F for medium-rare.

Step 8

To finish the curry, add the prawns to the sauce, place them into the pan and toss to coat. Cook for 2–3 minutes, flipping once, until they just begin to turn pink. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle or cilantro.

Step 9

Prepare the serving board by spreading the butter into the middle, sprinkle with salt and lemon zest. Remove the steak from the oven and place onto the buttered board. Allow to rest and slice.

Step 10

Place the prawn curry next to the steak with the heated naan and the roasted veg, finish with a sprinkle of salt and serve.
