Method

Ingredients

1. Sear the beef fillet on both sides for 1 minute on a very hot grill.

2. Roll tightly in clingwrap (this will assist in shaping and slicing).

3. Soak the garlic in milk for 10 minutes, then drain and fry until crispy.

4. To plate, divide the wasabi mayo between 2 plates and spread.

5. Thinly slice the beef fillet and plate in a circle. Discard the clingwrap. Spoon the ponzu over the fillet, then garnish with the red onion, mustard greens, spring onion and garlic.
