Caparccio


What you need:
  • Extra Extra Lean Eye Fillet Steak
  • Baby Rocket
  • Sliced Parmesan
  • Fresh Horseradish
  • Fresh Lemon Zest
  • French Shallots
  • Fresh Thyme
Sundries:
  • Early Harvest Virgin Olive Oil (because I love the stuff. Even use it for cooking which is completely unnecessary)
  • Flake Salt (Murray River if you have it)
Rub eye fillet in salt, chopped thyme and oil. Sear in a hot pan on each side (until it just starts to brown). Remove from heat and let it sit for several minutes. Slice thinly and arrange on plate.

Mix chopped shallots, some thyme, rocket, lemon zest and grated horse radish in a bowl. Add oil and toss. Add to plate of slice eye fillet and sprinkle with oil and Parmesan.

Verdict: 3 Chefs
For a gourmet recipe this is really quick and easy. I give it three chefs mainly because I prefer my alternative which is a much more complex recipe of wasabi and sake marinated caparccio in a Parmesan tower.
