Ingredients
Method
• Start by trimming up the Scotch Beef ribeye, we are looking to separate the top flat muscle from the large eye of meat beneath
• Removing all fat and sinew from both pieces
• With the larger piece we half it straight down the middle to give us two barrel shaped pieces of similar size to half a Scotch Beef fillet
• With the smaller, flatter piece we half this also, then dust each side of the Scotch Beef ribeye with the transglutaminase (protein glue), place one piece on top of the other and roll tightly in cling film into a barrel shape which should be of similar size to the other two pieces.
• Roll the remaining two pieces in cling film also to try and obtain a neater shape and leave overnight.
• The following day we sear the Scotch Beef- we use a plancha on full to obtain a really good smoky char on the Scotch Beef.
• Oil the beef and quickly sear on all sides trying not to cook the beef too long on any side.
• Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then roll first in truffle oil and then in mustard seeds.
• Wrap tightly again in cling film and refrigerate for at least six hours.
• Slice the Scotch Beef as thinly as possible and arrange five nice slices per plate, top with the truffle dwarf peaches (allowing eight quarters per portion), the shaved pecorino, pine nuts and chervil, season the Scotch Beef with sea salt cracked black pepper and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil.
