Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Heat a pan until very hot and add the oil and butter. When the butter starts to brown slightly, place the steaks in the pan and fry for 3 minutes a side, or until golden in colour.

Finish off in the oven for 2 minutes. Season to taste and serve drizzled with the raspberry sauce and garnished with ginger straws and spring onion.
To make the raspberry sauce:
Add the raspberries to a small saucepan, along with the cassis and caster sugar. Over a low heat, reduce the sauce until it thickens slightly and the berries begin to bleed.

To make the ginger straws:
In a small saucepan over a high heat, heat the oil until hot. Lower the heat slightly, then carefully add the ginger pieces and deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
