Don’t use cheap Lager, Not just for this, it's a general rule.
Beef in beer, Guinness works well or anything brown. You can adapt it with Pork and Cider for a nice change
...so we went to buy some and saw an amazing bit of beef!
We decided to have a roast but not a roast and went back to the old Bradford spring/summer favourite; crushed potatoes.
Any excuse to use nuoc cham and rare beef
Use any salad you like - we are weird in Europe in that we make a salad from veg and variations on lettuce and then add a few herbs whereas in other parts of the world herbs are the salad. Tabouleh in the Middle East for example isn't parsley in salad, it's parsley as salad.
I don’t wear Wellington boots and I don’t like pastry that much so . . .
This is similar to beef wellington but with lovely crispy prosciutto crudo on the outside instead of pastry.
