Ingredients (12)

  • 1 tbs (14g) dried instant yeast
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups (520g) strong (baker’s) flour, plus extra, to dust
  • 1/4 cup (35g) black sesame seeds
  • 3 1/2 tsp black salt
  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 600g good-quality beef eye fillet, trimmed
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Horseradish creme fraiche

  • 250g creme fraiche
  • 1/4 cup (45g) finely chopped cornichons
  • 1 eschalot, finely chopped
  • 1 tbs bottled horseradish

Method

  • 1.
    Combine the yeast, sugar and 1 cup (250ml) lukewarm water in a bowl, stirring to dissolve the yeast. Cover with a clean tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 10 minutes or until frothy.
  • 2.
    Combine the flour, sesame seeds and 1 tsp black salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add the yeast mixture and 1 tbs oil and stir until combined.
  • 3.
    Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place dough in a large oiled bowl. Cover with a tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • 4.
    Meanwhile, rub the beef with the remaining 1 tbs oil. Heat a frypan over high heat and cook the beef for 1 minute on each side until browned. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, tying a knot at either end, then freeze for 1 hour to firm slightly.
  • 5.
    For the horseradish creme fraiche, place all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Chill until ready to serve. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line 3 large baking trays with baking paper.
  • 6.
    Stretch and roll 1 heaped tablespoon of dough on a work surface until 5mm-1cm thick. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • 7.
    Place grissini on the prepared trays and scatter with 1 teaspoon salt. Bake for 20 minutes or until crisp. Set aside to cool on the trays.
  • 8.
    Using a sharp knife, slice the wrapped beef as thinly as possible, then arrange on a large chilled serving platter.
  • 9.
    Rub the remaining salt and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl, then sprinkle over the beef. Serve the grissini with beef carpaccio and horseradish creme fraiche.
