- Ground coriander: 5g
- Lemon: 1, zest and juice
- Water: 30g

- White crab meat: 20g, picked
- Brown crab meat: 20g
- Dill: a handful, chopped
- Banana shallots: 2, peeled and finely diced
- Salt and pepper to season
- Lemon juice: a generous squeeze
- Marsh samphire: to serve, stalk ends discarded

The Recipe:
- For the beef, preheat the oven to 200°c / gas 6.
- Seal the beef all over in a hot ovenproof pan. Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, butter and seasoning, then put in the oven for 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the beef from the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes in a warm place.
- For the crab fritters, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Divide the mixture into small balls. Heat oil to 180°c in a heavy-based pan. Add the fritters and deep fry for 2 minutes until golden.
- For the crab béarnaise, mix together all the ingredients and set aside.
- To plate: while the beef is resting, sauté the samphire in a little butter and sea salt until al dente. Grill the oysters and scallops (with a knob of butter and pinch of seasoning) in their shells for 2 minutes.
- Serve the fillet of beef on a sharing board – so it can be carved at the table – then dress with the shellfish, fritters and samphire. Serve the seafood chateaubriand with crab béarnaise and rustic chips.
