Method

  1. Heat a non-stick frying pan and season the meat well. Brown for 3-4 minutes each side (longer if it's very thick), and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice and set aside.
  2. Blanch or grill the asparagus spears.
  3. To make the dressing, whisk the horseradish, crème fraîche and lemon juice together with seasoning.
  4. Assemble the plates with the beef slices, asparagus, rocket and beetroot and spoon the dressing over each. Sprinkle the lemon zest over everything.

    Re the beetroot - I use the vacuum-packed ready-cooked beetroot, for a variety of meals. But the one thing I know for sure is, that it's really quite "nuggetty" - it still has a major amount of crunch in it. So for eating with cooked foods, I reckon it needs some more cooking, usually. It depends very much on individual taste - but I have frequently founf that it needs more cooking to soften it somewhat.

    Brought this salad to work for lunch to share with work colleagues. Got a huge thumbs up. The dressing is fabulous and would use that on its own..

    I agree with the comment on the beetroot being to hard. I also found the dressing a bit too lemoney. The second time I dubbled up the amount of horshradish and left out the zest.

    Nice combination of flavours. My beetroot was the slightly smaller ones they sell in vacuum packs and they had a great texture. This is not a mind blowing recipe, but tasty for a midweek meal.

    For a dish that contains only a handful of ingredients the result is superb. Really easy to make and you do just need to check the beetroot if using precooked.

    I am going to try this tonight. Sascha, you should lay off the wine when cooking as it tends to have an effect when writing the review afterwards.

    Very tasty, but I think the dressing could have taken more horseradish and less lemon.
