The Village Press Olive Oil
Winter salad of rare beef, pear and fennel
Ingredients:
- Beef (scotch fillet)
- Jonathan's Spice Portugese Seasoning (Cajun or Persian is
also OK)
-
1 Courgette
-
1 Bulb of Fennel
-
½ Red Onion
-
Rocket
-
1 Fresh Pear
-
The Village Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-
The Village Press Balsamic Vinegar
-
Parmesan Cheese
Method:
Sprinkle seasoning over beef and cook in a skillet on both sides until
medium rare. Put to one side to rest. Finely slice fennel,
red onion, pear and courgette (long ways for the courgette). When meat
is resting, fry off the
fennel slices and courgettes in the same pan used for the meat. Once
cooked, add all vegetables
and rocket to a bowl and mix together. Finely slice the beef fillet
and mix in with the vegetables
along with some finely sliced parmesan cheese.
To serve:
Add portions of salad to a bowl or plate, ensuring each one has even
amounts of beef. Drizzle with
olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This is a fantastic winter salad
either as an entree or as a main.
