Method

Hide images
step 1
Remove the steaks (2 packs) from the fridge about 30 minutes before you’re ready to cook. Leave them to come up to room temperature.
step 2
To make the bonbons, mix the crab (1 pack), cream cheese (25 g), Dijon mustard (1 tsp), lemon juice (1/2), chives (5 g) and paprika (1/2 tsp) together. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
step 3
Place the beaten egg (1) and panko breadcrumbs (50 g) into two separate, shallow bowls. Using wet hands, form the crab mixture into small balls, about the size of a conker. Dip each bonbon into the beaten egg, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Heat your air fryer to 180°C. Spray the bonbons with olive oil spray, and pop into the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
step 4
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over a high heat – let it get very hot, but not smoking.
step 5
Once hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferences. When you flip the steaks, add the butter (2 tbsp) and garlic (2 cloves) to the pan, then baste the steaks by spooning over the melted butter as they cook.
step 6
Remove the steaks to a board and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
step 7
Meanwhile, make the pasta. Bring a large saucepan filled with water to a boil and season with salt. Add the tagliatelle (200 g) and cook for 3-4 minutes, according to the package instructions.
step 8
In a separate pan, heat the tomato sauce (1 jar) to a simmer. Once cooked, add the drained tagliatelle and toss well, adding a bit more butter to create a glossy sauce, if needed.
step 9
Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the linguine and bonbons, topped with the basil leaves (10 g).
