Apple and Seared Beef Carpaccio Salad
Method
- Rub the fillet with olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and evenly brown the beef for 1 minute on each side. Sear the ends for only a few seconds to seal in the juices. It should be rare on the inside.
- Remove from the pan and allow the fillet to rest on a chopping board for 5 minutes whilst you prepare the salad ingredients.
- Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the fillet and plate individual salads by alternating beef slivers and apple rounds to create layered stacks.
- Top with the fennel slices, red salad onions and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Drizzle olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice over the top of each salad, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and garnish with a few fennel leaves.
