Quick roast beef with cavolo nero
Almond sauce

Method

1.Preheat oven to 250°C fan-forced or hottest setting on a conventional oven and place a large baking tray in oven to heat. Rub beef with 2 tsp oil, season to taste, place on tray and roast, turning once, until cooked to your liking (20-25 minutes for medium-rare), then set aside to rest (5-10 minutes).
2.While beef is cooking, make almond sauce. Process almonds and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Squeeze bread of excess water then add to processor along with lemon juice, oil and 100ml water and process to a smooth sauce (add more water if necessary). Season well and set aside.
3.While beef is resting, heat a frying pan over high heat, add half the remaining oil and half the cavolo nero, toss until almost wilted (1-2 minutes), add 2 Tbsp water, toss until wilted (1-2 minutes), season to taste and set aside. Repeat with remaining oil and cavolo nero.
4.Serve with beef and almond sauce.
