    Cook potatoes in little boiling salted water for about 20 minutes, asparagus for about 10 minutes. For the tomato and hollandaise sauce, heat butter in a pot and skim. Put the egg yolk and white wine in a metal bowl and place on a hot water bath.

    Beat with a snow knife until frothy. Slowly add butter in small quantities, stirring continuously. Stir in tomato paste and season with salt and cayenne pepper. Heat oil in a pan and fry the steaks on each side for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season with salt and pepper. Pluck the chervil leaves from the stalks, except for a little to garnish. Arrange asparagus, steaks and potatoes on plates. Pour some tomato-hollandaise sauce over the asparagus and sprinkle with tomato cubes.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle potatoes with chervil leaves and garnish. If you like, garnish with a tomato rose.
