Ingredients
Method
Trim excess sinew from beef blade and colour in hot frying pan. Sweat off the mirepoix of vegetables and add the wine and port and reduce by half. Once cool, add in the Scotch Beef blade and let it marinate overnight.
Add some chicken stock to the marinade and braise in a low oven at 140 degrees for 4 hours.
Allow to cool in the cooking liquor then remove the excess grizzle in the centre and roll the blade in cling film. Slice and roll in crepinette.
Reduce the cooking liquor to a sticky sauce then pan fry the rolled Scotch Beef and warm up in the cooking reduction.
Serve with white onion purée, charred spring onions, sautéed mushrooms and thyme leaf gnocchi.
