Tips:

  • Other steaks such as porterhouse or eye fillet would also work well in this recipe
  • Always rest your meat before serving – this will ensure the juices are locked in and the meat is tender.
  • Buy steaks of an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Scotch fillet is sometimes called boneless rib eye or rib fillet.  This steak is one of the most popular steaks.  It’s juicy, tender and full of flavour.
  • Watermelon radish are from an heirloom variety of daikon radish, use normal red radish if watermelon radish not available.
  • Using a mandolin is a great way to finely slice radishes.
  • Salsa Verde will last 5-7 days in the refrigerator.  Salsa Verde can be frozen.
  • Salsa Verde can also be used as a marinade or add a little to potatoes and toss.
