Ingredients
Method
For the beef:
Season the fillet tails heavily with coarse ground pepper and Maldon salt. Press in well by rolling the fillet on a tray to create thin crust of seasoning. Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Sear the beef to achieve a well-caramelised crust, add the Kerrymaid Buttery and baste. Finish in the oven for a couple of minutes if necessary. Remove to a cooling rack and allow to rest.
For the truffle cream:
Beat the cream cheese with the truffle paste and mustard. Warm the milk, dissolve the gelatine in the milk and pass through a tea strainer into the cream cheese mix. Mix in thoroughly and season. Fold in the whipped Kerrymaid Double, working the mix as little as possible. Transfer the mix to a shallow plastic box and refrigerate to set.
To serve:
Thinly slice the beef and arrange in circles on the plates. Dip a spoon in warm water and quenelle the truffle cream onto each plate. Season the beef, scatter micro rocket and Parmesan shavings over the meat and finish with a little olive oil.
