In a mixing bowl combine the crushed black pudding, the cut onion, the chopped almonds and the salt and pepper. Cut the rump into 200g steaks and brown on either side. Place the sausage croute on the steaks and roast in a 180ºC oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven and cover the beef with Maldon salt flakes.
For the puree: Process the grains of corn and sieve. Baste the chopped green onions in butter. Add the corn puree and stir. Finally add the truffle oil, and add salt and pepper. Bread the base of heart of palm in the chopped pistachio nuts.
For the port and Malbec wine sauce: sauté the vegetables in the olive oil, add the apples, the port wine and the red wine. Let the alcohol evaporate. Add the chicken broth.
Simmer for 4 hours. Sieve and put back on the heat until the right thickness is obtained. Place the beef, cut into rectangles, on a plate and decorate on the sides with the white wine sauce. Garnish with hearts of palm in pistachio and corn puree.
I cannot praise Pampas Plains services enough, even when I ordered late on Friday afternoon the order arrived just as promised on Saturday morning, now that's service.
