4. Place the olive oil, onion and garlic into a medium frypan over medium heat.
Cook, without browning, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the diced potato and 500ml water and bring to a boil. Simmer until potatoes
are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve cooking liquid.
6. Transfer potato and onion to the bowl of a food processor along with the blanched
greens and process until smooth, adding a little cooking liquid if required. Pass
through a fine sieve and season with salt, to taste. Cover and set aside.
7. For the Leek, cook the leeks on the hibachi until charred. Transfer the leeks to a
sheet of foil then wrap and return to the heat to cook until soft. Remove from the
heat and set aside.
8. For the Seaweed Panko Crumb, place butter and oil into a medium frypan over low
heat. Once melted, add the aonori and cook for a minute to toast. Add the panko
and stir until crispy and evenly toasted, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and
stir through lemon zest. Transfer to a lined tray and set aside in a low oven to keep
warm.
9. For the Crispy Capers and Onions, place the oil into a small saucepan over
medium heat. Pat the capers dry and cook in the hot until golden and crispy.
Remove from oil and set aside on paper towel. Fry the onions in the hot oil until
golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and set aside until needed.
10. Preheat a BBQ or grill pan if using.

saucepan and place over medium heat to render. Once rendered, reduce the heat
to low to keep warm.
12. Season the steak with salt flakes and cook on the hibachi or BBQ on each side until
the internal temperature reaches 50C on a meat thermometer or until cooked to
your liking. Remove from the heat and allow the rest before serving.
13. For the Beef Fat and Nori, drain the rendered beef fat into a small saucepan. Add
the butter and nori and allow the butter to melt. Set aside to infuse for 10 minutes
then pour through a fine sieve. Season to taste with a little soy sauce and salt and
transfer to a small serving jug. Set aside in a warm place.
14. For the Vinegar Gastrique, place the sugar and water into a small saucepan over
medium heat. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the
red wine vinegar, to taste. Transfer to a small serving jug and set aside.
15. To serve, spoon some Warrigal Greens Puree onto each serving plate. Slice the Rib
Eye and place on top of puree. Slice the leeks in half lengthways and place one half
on top of the steak. Combine the Panko Seaweed Crumb and Crispy Capers and
sprinkle over leeks. Top with Crispy Onion. Spoon some Vinegar Gastrique around
the plate. Garnish with sorrel and serve with the Seaweed Beef Butter on the side.
