1 tbsp capers   

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

While the meat is in the freezer, chill the plates in the fridge.

Once the beef is firm, slice thinly against the grain and place slices on chilled plates.

Top each serving with a handful of rocket, capers, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese.

Drizzle with vinegar or balsamic and olive oil, and add a pinch of freshly cracked black salt and pepper

Serve immediately.

You can add a drizzle of honey for extra flavour.
