Instructions
1. | Season the beef with salt and white pepper. |
2. | Heat a little canola oil in a pan and sear the four longer sides of the beef for 40 seconds each. |
3. | Rest the beef for around 15 minutes to cool down to room temperature, then put in the fridge to cool for a further 15 minutes, though longer is OK. |
4. | Slice the chilled beef, trickle over the goma dare and sprinkle with some toasted sesame seeds. |
5. | GOMA DARE SAUCE |
6. | Whisk all the goma dare ingredients together until well mixed. |
7. | NOTE: You don’t need to use all the goma dare – it is especially good as a salad dressing or with a poached chicken breast. It can be stored for 2 weeks in the fridge. |
