Ingredients
Method
Salt baked Scotch Beef rib:
Preheat the oven the 180⁰c
Make sure the short rib is at room temperature
Whisk the salt and the egg white together until it is well combined and fluffed up
Spread a layer of the salt mix on an oven tray about 1cm thick and slightly larger than the shape of the beef. Place the beef on top and then fully coat the beef with the rest of the mixture. Make sure this is done evenly and with no holes at all.
Put the tray in the oven for 2 and a half hours.
Remove and rest inside the salt crust for 20 minutes.
Carefully cut around the bottom of the crust to remove the lid off the beef in one piece. Remove the Scotch Beef and set aside.
Carrot puree:
Peel and cut the carrots up small and evenly.
Heat the butter in a sauce and add the carrots with a little salt.
Cook this out until the carrot have no resistance when press with the back of a spoon.
Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth, add a little water if needed.
To plate:
Put the short rib and beef jus in a pan and heat
on a medium flame. Turn the beef every couple of minutes until the it is warm and as the jus reduces it will form a glaze on the meat.
Warm the carrot puree and spoon into the middle of the plate.
Arrange the beef on top on the puree.
Top the beef with the grated carrot (lightly seasoned with salt).
Garnish with cicely leaves and hogweed seeds.
