  • Preheat oven to 220ºC. Season the rib eye cutlets with salt and pepper, then drizzle with half the extra virgin olive oil. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Cut the carrots into quarters lengthways, then steam until tender. Meanwhile, combine the butter, honey, vinegar and spices in a saucepan then boil until syrupy. Toss with the carrots, arrange on a lined tray, then bake for 20 minutes, until glazed. Scatter with thyme.
  • Drizzle the broccolini with the remaining olive oil and season with salt, then scatter with lemon zest and garlic. Grill for 3 minutes, turning several times, drizzling with lemon juice from time to time. Scatter with parsley.
  • Cook the rib eye cutlets on a hot barbecue grill for 10 minutes, turning often, until medium. Rest for 2 minutes, then serve with the carrots, broccolini, sauerkraut and Café de Paris butter.
  • For the Café de Paris butter: Combine everything except the butter in a bowl, stir well and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • Place the butter in a mixer bowl and whip on high speed until light and creamy. Then add the marinade, one tablespoon at a time with the mixer running, until smooth. Form into logs in sheets of freezer plastic and refrigerate until firm.
