Serves 4.
First, to cook the beef, get your pan on high. Rub oil around the beef, season generously with salt and pepper and sear for 30 seconds on all sides.
Next for the tartare puree, place all your ingredients together and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to suit taste – I like it quite hot!
Then to make the shrimp emulsion, put your egg yolks, shrimp, lemon zest and juice into a food processor. While mixing gradually, add oil until thickened to a light mayo consistency.
Finally, to serve thinly slice the beef and arrange on plate, top with alternate dots of the tartare puree and shrimp emulsion, finish with the kings prawns.
