Cooking Instructions

  1. Cover the seared fillet tightly with aluminum foil and roll into a log shape. 
  2. Place in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Remove just before serving and slice thinly with a slicer or serrated knife. 
  3. To make the mayonnaise: Lightly beat the eggs in a blender, then add lemon juice, garlic and mustard and beat to combine. Continue beating, adding a drop of oil at a time. Gradually add more oil and whisk until thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. 
  4. Blend the left-over beetroot pieces into a paste and strain the beetroot juice using a fine sieve. Mix a few drops into the mayonnaise, adding more if it’s too thick.
  5. Serve the beef on individual plates or on a large platter. 
  6. Top with beetroot, sliced onion, drained radishes and drizzle with the beetroot mayonnaise.  
  7. Serve with salad leaves and edible flowers.
