A few sprigs thyme
g 800 free-range beef sirloin
2 T wine or grape vinegar
A few drops olive oil
For the sheba:

Cooking Instructions

Dry fry the coriander seeds, black pepper and cloves until fragrant, then grind the spices and stripped thyme leaves to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder.

Finely dice the sirloin using a very sharp knife. Add the spices, vinegar and olive oil and mix. Cover, chill and marinate for 1 hour.

In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients for the sheba. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Season, then blend into a smooth sauce. Strain and keep warm.

Dress the cucumber in vinegar, salt and white pepper, to taste.

Mould the sirloin into rounds on 4 plates. Top each with an egg yolk and fleur de sel flake. Spoon the sheba around the meat, then add mielie kernels, pickled onion and cucumber.
