Ingredients

    General

  • 10 oz pack Silver Fern Farms Rib-Eye Steak

  • Pickled Daikon:

  • ½ cup rice wine vinegar

  • ¼ cup caster sugar

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  • ½ daikon, finely julienned

  • Nuoc Cham Dressing:

  • 2 long red chilis, finely chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar

  • 2 Tbsp lime juice

  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce

  • 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar

  • Salad:

  • 100g small beans, trimmed and blanched

  • 2 red shallots, thinly sliced

  • ¾ cup cilantro, loosely packed

  • ¾ cup mint leaves, loosely packed

Method

Step 1

To prepare the pickled daikon, combine rice vinegar, caster sugar and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Place the julienned daikon into a non-metallic bowl. Add the cooled vinegar mixture, stir to combine then set aside for 10 minutes while preparing remaining ingredients.

Step 2

Remove the Silver Fern Farms Rib-Eye Steak from the fridge and packaging and allow to bloom at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 3

To prepare the nuoc cham dressing, place the chilis, garlic, palm sugar, lime juice, fish sauce and rice wine vinegar in a small bowl. Add 2 Tbsp cold water and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Heat a BBQ or char-grill pan to medium-high heat. Generously oil the steak and season with salt and pepper. Cook the steak for 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Use tongs to turn the steak to prevent puncturing and losing any juices.

Step 5

Remove steak from the heat. Transfer to a cutting board and cover with foil to retain heat and juices. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Combine beans, shallots, cilantro, and mint leaves on a serving platter with the drained pickled daikon. Slice the steak thinly then layer on top of the salad. Drizzle over the nuoc cham dressing to serve.
