- 400g butternut pumpkin, peeled and diced 1cm

Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

Toss butternut and fennel with chermoula spice mix and a drizzle of oil on prepared tray. Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 20 minutes, until tender and caramelised. Turn halfway to ensure even cooking.
-
While butternut roasts, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on high heat. Pat beef dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Cook beef for 3-4 minutes each side for mediumrare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking.
-
Remove beef from pan and set aside, covered with foil, to rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing thickly against the grain.
-
While beef rests, add feta and milk to a small bowl and use a whisk or fork to mix until smooth. Season with pepper and set aside.
-
When vegetables have about 5 minutes cook time remaining, remove from oven, toss through dates and walnuts and roast a further 5 minutes, until walnuts are toasted. Remove from oven and toss through baby kale until slightly wilted.
-
divide chermoula butternut between plates and top with slices of beef scotch fillet. Drizzle over feta whip and garnish with coriander.
