Beef Skewers with Beetroot, Radish and Grain Salad, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

  • 1kg beef rump, trimmed, cut into 3cm cubes
  • 120g salted butter, softened
  • 2 tbs horseradish cream
  • Watercress tips, to serve

Beetroot, radish and grain salad

  • 100g (½ cup) quinoa
  • ½ bunch each target beetroot, baby beetroot and radish, thinly sliced (we used a mandoline)
  • 1 red apple, thinly sliced (we used a mandoline)
  • ¼ bunch dill, leaves finely chopped, plus fronds, to serve

Horseradish vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbs red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp horseradish cream

Method

  1. For the salad, cook quinoa according to the packet instructions, then cool. Place in a large bowl with remaining ingredients.
  2. Thread beef onto 8 metal skewers. Mix butter and horseradish cream in a small bowl and season. Spread half the butter over beef.
  3. Heat a barbecue or grill pan to high and cook skewers in batches, turning often, for 3–5 minutes or until charred and medium rare. Place on a platter, brush with remaining horseradish butter, cover loosely with foil and rest for 3 minutes.
  4. For the vinaigrette, shake ingredients together in a jar.
  5. Add half the vinaigrette to the salad and toss to coat. Place on a platter, top with beef skewers, drizzle with remaining vinaigrette, if desired, and top with watercress and dill fronds.
