DRESSING
CRISPY ONIONS
GARNISH
Wash and dry the salad leaves. Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together in a bowl. Season well. Prepare and cook the crispy onions. Slice the onion horizontally into 5mm rings. Separate the rings and cover with the milk until needed. Just before serving, heat the oil to 180C/350F. Toss the rings a few at a time lightly in well seasoned flour.
Deep fry until golden, drain on kitchen paper and keep hot.
Heat a grill pan on high heat. Season the beef on both sides with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the beef on the hot grill pan, first in one direction and then the other to give a criss-cross effect.
Toss the salad leaves in just enough dressing to make the leaves glisten.
Just before serving divide the salad between each of the warm plates, piling the leaves up in the centre. Arrange the seared beef around the leaves. Dribble a little horseradish mayonnaise over each slice of beef.
Put a clump of hot crispy onions on top of the salad. Serve immediately with a rocket leaf or two on each plate and a little sprinkling of freshly cracked pepper.
