  • 800g Omugi hanger steak

  • sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

Method
  • Rub the steak with celery salt and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Put the beetroot trimmings and chicken stock into a medium saucepan and set over low heat, then place the beetroot rolls in a cook very gently for 30 minutes, until just tender. Turn the heat off and stir in the gelatine. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Cook the steak on a hot barbecue grill for 8 minutes, turning several times, until medium rare. Set aside to rest for 2 minutes.
  • Slice the beetroot into discs and serve with the carved steak, pea leaves and pistachios.
