A TOAST TO SUMMER........SESAME BEEF FILLET SALAD

Adapted from Leith`s Cookery Bible ........

You will need to purchase a beef fillet weighing about 450gm , trim the fat from it .
Prepare the marinade the night before .
Slice 2 red onions into a bowl with 5 tbs of dry sherry , 3 tbs of sesame oil and 2 tbs of crushed black pepper .
Pour the marinade into a freezer bag with the beef fillet , making sure the marinade coats the steak really well.

The next day , make a dressing by mixing together 6 tbs of grapeseed oil , 3 tbs of white wine vinegar , 1 tbs of Dijon mustard and a dsp of clear honey .

It`s time to cook the beef .
Strain the marinade from the beef , retain the marinade in a bowl .
Heat a frypan until it is very hot and then brown your steak on both sides .
Cook it for as long as you like it  ( I cook it for 3 minutes each side )
Once  it is done , remove from the pan and put it on a wire rack to cool .

Now put the remaining marinade and the onions into the pan with 225gm of sliced button mushrooms , cook this until the marinade becomes syrupy .
Then add this to the dressing and let it cool.

I trim about 10 snow peas and add them uncooked to the dressing .

Once the meat and dressing is cold , slice the fillet steak into thin slices and add to the dressing .
Can be served with your choice of rice or baby spinach leaves .
