How to make Charred steak and broccolini with cheese sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 230°C (fan) / 240°C (conventional).

2. Season the steaks all over with pepper and 9 g of salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, toss the broccolini with oil and 3 g of salt on a rimmed baking tray to combine. Spread the broccolini out in a single layer and set aside.

4. Using tongs if necessary, hold both steaks together with the fat cap side down in a large ovenproof frying pan over high heat. Cook until the pan is coated in fat, about 4 minutes.

5. Lay the steaks flat and continue to sear until deeply browned, about 3 minutes on each side.

6. Transfer the frying pan to the oven and roast the steaks until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 50°C for medium-rare, about 6–8 minutes.

7. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

8. While the steaks are resting, roast the broccolini in the oven until crisp-tender and lightly charred, about 10 minutes.

9. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cheese, cream cheese, milk, nutmeg, cayenne, and the remaining 1 g of salt. Whisk constantly until a smooth sauce forms, about 5 minutes.

10. Divide the cheese sauce among plates. Top with the broccolini and sliced steaks, then sprinkle with sea salt.
