Ingredients
Method
Finely dice the Orkney gold Scotch Beef fillet and the shallots, capers, cornichons and chives. Confit the free range hens egg in thyme and garlic flavoured oil at 55°C for 45mins in a vac pack bag and then refresh into iced water. Mix the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning into a bowl and reserve. Mix the Scotch Beef steak, gherkins etc. into a bowl and slowly add in the egg yolk and mustard mix until you have the correct consistency and season to taste. Slice the shallots and add into the pickling liquor and reserve until required.
For the parsley gel, blanch the parsley twice in boiling salted water and refresh each time into iced water. Lightly dry the parsley out and then thermomix it, slowly adding in some of the cooled parsley blanching water into it till you have bright green parsley water. Pass it through a coffee filter and slowly thicken with Ultratex until it coats the back of a spoon, season to taste.
Finely slice some sourdough and toast it.
Pack the Scotch Beef steak tartare mix into a cutter and place the drained confit egg on top; arrange the rest as per the pictures and finish with the watercress.
