Ingredients
Method
Firstly make up the Ponzu sauce, be sure the sugar has dissolved completely.
Add the thinly sliced onions, mixing well, cover and put aside in the refrigerator.
You can do this well in advance if you like, actually improves overnight.
Remove and discard any outside surface from the Scotch Beef and remove any sinew or fatty pieces before slicing as thinly as you are able.
Gently flatten the Scotch Beef with a meat hammer or badly behaved child’s head, then arrange attractively on a plate.
Put a mound of the drained onions in the centre then drizzle some Ponzu over the meat.
Garnish and shake some chilli pepper and sesame seeds over the plate.
