CHEF'S NOTES

Black garlic adds depth without harshness – it’s sweet, savoury, and rounded. Brown butter on the potatoes gives a nutty, almost hazelnut aroma that feels quietly luxurious. Resting the beef properly is non‑negotiable – it keeps the meat tender and the juices where they belong. Yorkshire batter benefits from resting; it rises higher and stays crispier.
