  4. Remove beef from pan and set aside, covered with foil, to rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing thickly against the grain.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. divide chermoula butternut between plates and top with slices of beef scotch fillet. Drizzle over feta whip and garnish with coriander.
