Cold Spiced Fillet of Beef
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 125g light brown muscovado sugar
- 85g coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground star anise
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 red chilli, finely sliced
- 75ml Kikkoman soy sauce
- 75ml sesame oil
- 300g trimmed Aberdeen Angus fillet beef
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
Method
- Mix the sugar, salt, star anise, ginger, garlic, lemon zest, red chilli, soy sauce and sesame oil in a dish just large enough to fit the beef. Add the beef, thoroughly coat in its marinade, cover and place in the fridge.
- After 12 hours, turn the meat, rubbing it all over with the spicy marinade. Leave to marinate for at least 24 hours, up to a maximum of 36. Then rinse under the cold tap and pat dry.
- Heat the sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan. As soon as it is hot, add the beef and colour on all sides. Continue to fry for about 5 minutes, turning regularly, then remove. Once cold, cover and chill until needed.
Cook's tips
If you can't find any ground star anise, grind some in a clean coffee blender.
