Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • 2.
    Brush beef with olive oil and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • 3.
    Wrap tightly in cling film to make a round shape. Freeze for 30 minutes (this will make it easier to slice).
  • 4.
    Meanwhile, brush the baguette slices with olive oil and lay on a baking tray. Cook for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Set aside.
  • 5.
    Place a large frypan over high heat until smoking.
  • 6.
    Remove beef from freezer. Discard cling film.
  • 7.
    Add 2 tbs oil to the pan then cook beef, turning, for 3-4 minutes so the outside is scorched but the inside is raw. Set aside.
  • 8.
    Wipe the pan clean and then heat remaining 1/3 cup (80ml) oil over medium-high heat. Add the capers and cook for 2-3 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper towel.
  • 9.
    Reserve the oil from the pan and place in a jug. Add the Dijon, lemon juice and honey. Season to taste.
  • 10.
    Thinly slice the beef and arrange on a platter. Scatter over crisp capers and drizzle over the dressing. Top with pecorino, celery leaves and herbs.
  • 11.
    Serve with crisp bread.
