Tips:

- 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.
