Method
Step 1
To make the horseradish sauce, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish cream, lemon zest and 2 tsp lemon juice in a small bowl. Season and add more lemon juice, if necessary. Place in the fridge to chill.
Step 2
To make the beer batter, whisk the beer, yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Place in a warm place for 10 mins or until the yeast dissolves and the mixture is frothy. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups (185g) flour to yeast mixture, stirring gently with a whisk, until just smooth. Cover with a clean tea towel. Place in a warm place for 45 mins to develop the flavours.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 100°C. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat to 190°C (when oil is ready, a cube of bread turns golden brown in 10 secs). Place a wire rack on a large rimmed baking tray. In a medium bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup (75g) flour with the salt. Add onion rings to the flour mixture and toss to coat.
Step 4
Dip floured onion rings, 1 at a time, in the batter, allowing excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Carefully add 4-6 onion rings to the hot oil. Cook, turning halfway through cooking, for 4 mins or until golden brown and crisp. Carefully transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain, then transfer to the wire rack on the baking tray. Season. Transfer tray to oven to keep warm. Return oil temperature to 190°C and repeat, in batches, with the remaining onion rings and batter.
Step 5
Season the steaks generously. Heat a large heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Coat steaks with the oil. Add to the pan and cook, turning every 2 mins, for 8 mins. Reduce heat to medium and cook, turning once, for 4 mins or until the internal temperature of the steaks reaches 50°C on a meat thermometer for medium-rare doneness. Transfer to a carving board for 10 mins to rest.
Step 6
Spread some of the horseradish sauce over serving plates.
Step 7
Slice the steak and divide among plates with onion rings and watercress.
Recipe tip
Serve with the remaining horseradish sauce.
