1 1/2 tbs caster sugar
2 tbs grated ginger

4 radishes, thinly sliced

Method

1.

For the pickle, combine the vinegar, sugar, 1 tbs ginger and 1 tsp salt in a bowl with the cucumber, radish and sesame seeds. Set aside for 30 minutes to pickle.
2.

Preheat oven to 200C. Rub garlic and remaining 1 tbs ginger over beef, and season. Heat the oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Cook beef, turning, for 4-5 minutes until browned. Transfer to a baking tray and roast in the oven for 15 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes.
3.

Slice the beef and serve with rocket and the cucumber and radish pickle.
