Description

This festive looking salad makes the most of a beautiful Wagyu sirloin. The flavour of Wagyu is very rich and buttery thanks to a large amount of fat marbling through the meat, which melts as the steak cooks.

The sweet, sharp and creamy flavours in this salad work so well with the meat, and the salad looks so good that it’s just as perfect for a celebration supper as it is for a treat-night dinner.

Recipe by Helen Graves.

Ingredients

1 x 400g Wagyu sirloin
1 radicchio
2-3 pickled walnuts, sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
2 teaspoons honey
Sea salt
2 tablespoons chives
Oil (such as vegetable or groundnut) for cooking

Method

Make the dressing by combining the lemon juice, orange juice, wholegrain mustard, honey, olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper in an empty jar and shake to combine. Alternatively use a whisk and a bowl to combine the dressing.
Heat a cast-iron or other heavy-based frying pan until very hot. Rub the steak lightly with oil and season very well with sea salt.
Place the steak in the pan and cook until a crust has formed and you’re able to turn the steak - 1-2 minutes. Cook for around 2 minutes each side for medium-rare and 2 ¼ minutes for medium, although exact cooking times will depend on the thickness of the steak.
Rest the steak for 5 minutes.
Coat the radicchio leaves with half of the dressing and arrange on two serving plates. Slice the steak and divide it between the plates, along with the Stilton and sliced pickled walnuts.
