Beef Pastrami
What a fantastic way to start 2020 - in this episode of #OfftheBlock, Oli Martin, Head Chef at Hipping Hall and MasterChef: The Professionals finalist, makes Beef Pastrami using short rib of Dexter. The beef is brined for 10 days and slowly cooked for two days in a water bath. It's then covered with a malt glaze and finished with local spices that have been barbequed to give a smoky flavour. It's served with almond cream infused with bone marrow, smoked cucumbers, fresh fennel shoots and topped with a liquorice oil.
