Steps
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- For the stock, heat grapeseed oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery and beef bone and cook, for 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Add stock and 2 cups water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour. Strain through a sieve, discard solids and add cream. Return to simmer then remove from heat and set aside to keep warm.
- For the gnocchi, wrap garlic in foil and bake in oven until tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven, unwrap, squeeze cloves into a bowl and mash with a fork. Set aside.
- Meanwhile place potatoes in a colander over a saucepan of water, covered, and set over medium heat. Steam potatoes until tender, about 30-40 minutes. Remove from heat and grate warm potatoes into the bowl with the mashed garlic. Add flour, thyme, egg yolk and salt and mix gently until a soft dough forms. Roll out into a 1.5cm thick log and cut into 2.5cm pieces.
- Place a large saucepan of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook until gnocchi float to surface, about 1-2 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- Heat butter in a large frypan over medium heat and fry gnocchi, turning frequently until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside, keeping warm.
- Place carrot and pumpkin in a colander over a saucepan of water, covered, and set over medium heat. Steam until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a blender with butter and blend until smooth. Season to taste. Set aside.
- Rub beef with oil, season with salt and pepper and sear in a frypan over high heat until brown and sealed all over, about 6-7 minutes for medium rare or until cooked to your liking. Set aside to rest.
- For the onion rings, heat oil to 190C in a medium saucepan. Combine flours, bicarb and salt in a small bowl and whisk in beer to form a smooth batter. Dip onion in batter and fry in hot oil until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove from oil and set aside on paper towel.
- To serve, divide pumpkin puree between plates. Top with beef, scatter gnocchi over plate and a stack of onion rings. Serve with gravy.
