Beef
And Claw At The Bank
From the kitchen of Rae Hurley, The Left Bank
-
This recipe combines some
of the best produce the South Burnett has to offer:
tender South Burnett beef and juicy freshwater red claw crayfish from Belle
Villa
Farm, along with other ingredients from local producers. After quickly
searing
the beef, it's sliced thinly and tossed in a dressing made up of the juice
of local
limes mixed with fresh coriander and olive oil along with the red claw tails.
These
are then served on a bed of crispy lettuce scattered with local olives and
slices
of tangy orange. The dish is finished off with a drizzle of the
lime/coriander/olive
oil dressing for a fantastic fresh aftertaste
