Pickled walnut-braised shallots, steak and rocket salad

The absolute best pickled thing is a pickled walnut (Opies is the brand to look out for). This curiously tender, dark treat is classically matched with blue cheese, cured beef or a venison or pheasant pie.

SERVES 4

• 500g small shallots• 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil• 2 tbsp golden caster sugar• 100ml red wine• 100ml liquid from a jar of pickled walnuts• 5 pickled walnuts, quartered• 600g bavette or onglet steak• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil• 200g rocket• 200g Japanese radish (daikon), peeled and cut into• 2 tbsp crispy shallots• Sea salt and black pepper
