Roast butternut pumpkin with sweet shallots and pepita seeds tossed with tuscan kale, served with juicy steak and a butter sage sauce.

Set oven to 220ºC. Deseed and dice pumpkin (4cm pieces). Peel and quarter shallots. Toss on a lined oven tray with pepita seeds, 1/2 the sage leaves, 2 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Rub steaks with 1 tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook for 3-6 minutes on each side or to your liking (see notes). Set aside to rest.
4. Massage the kale
