EFFORTLESS TASTE

Prepare your Silver Fern Farms cut of grass-fed beef, then build a meal using different flavour profiles and textures.

Base recipe Silver Fern Farms Eye Fillet Steak

Remove the Silver Fern Farms Eye Fillet Steaks from the fridge and packaging. Season with freshly ground pepper and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Salt the meat just prior to cooking.

Heat a pan over a medium-high heat and cook the steaks for 3–4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate, cover lightly and rest for 5 minutes.

Fresh Vegetable and Eye Fillet Spring Rolls

• • Slice cooked eye fillet steaks very thinly against the grain. Create long strips of cucumber using a vegetable peeler and use them to wrap up slices of steak along with a medley of fresh veges and herbs, such as avocado carrot, radish, mint and coriander, for a fresh take on spring rolls. Mix soy sauce, mirin, fresh chilli and lemon juice together for a spicy dip. For a herby dipping sauce, blend coriander, garlic, mirin, rice wine vinegar rice bran oil and sesame oil. Add a pinch of chilli, if you like it hot. For added texture, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped peanuts over the spring rolls.

Seared Eye Fillet Tataki

Create some umami magic to complement thin slices of tender tasty eye fillet with a dressing made of tahini, soy sauce and rice vinegar – add a little wasabi for some zing. Fresh summer veges, such as blanched thinly sliced green beans, shaved fresh asparagus and podded soy beans are a beautiful green addition to the plate. Drizzle the dressing over the beef and for extra texture and flavour, sprinkle over some Japanese togarashi powder – a tasty blend of spices.
