Ingredients
500g piece beef sirloin, fully trimmed
Salt and ground pepper to taste
1-2 Tbsp oil
4 thick slices bread, toasted
4 tsp butter or margarine
20g fresh lettuce, rocket or mesculun
1 red onion, peeled and sliced thinly into rings
16 slices tomato
16 rounds cucumber, finely sliced
100g good quality aioli or mayonnaise
Instructions
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 190°C. Heat the oil over a moderate heat in a heavy-based pan and brown the beef thoroughly. Transfer to the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the oven and rest, covered in a warm place for a further 5 minutes, before carving thinly across the grain.
To Serve
Lightly butter the bread. Assemble the salad greens, onion, tomato and cucumber, and sliced beef. Drizzle with aioli and season to taste. Serve warm with mustard or gravy as desired.
Seal the cut sides of bread with butter or a mayonnaise-based spread, then add a layer of greens to prevent the meat juices from soaking into the bread.
