Ingredients

20 cherry tomatoes
3 sprigs of thyme
Sugar
Olive oil
2 eggs
Dijon mustard
Lemon juice
Grapeseed oil
Parmesan cheese
Truffle oil (optional)
1 slice of rye bread
40g butter
400g beef fillet steak
Pommery mustard
Salt
Pepper

For the Oven Roasted Tomatoes

Preheat the oven to 130°C. Remove the thyme leaves from their stalks and toss in a bowl 15g sugar, a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of olive oil. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and spread over a baking tray covered with parchment paper, keeping the skin of the tomato facing down. Cook in the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, the tomatoes should be semi dried out.

For the Beef Carpaccio

Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil to a hot frying pan. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then sear in the pan for 1 minute each side until evenly browned. Remove from the pan and leave to cool. Once cool, cover the sides of the beef in a thin layer of pommery mustard. Tightly wrap the beef in cling film and put in the freezer for 1 ½ hours to firm up.

For the Rye Bread

Preheat the oven to 160C. Toast the rye bread until crisp then crumble the rye bread in a pestle and mortar.

Melt the butter in a heavy based until it starts to foam and add the rye bread crumb and salt. Leave it to toast for 1 minute and then drain the crumb in a sieve. Spread the crumb on paper towel until needed.

For the Parmesan Mayonnaise

Boil the eggs for 3 minutes. Once cooked, transfer into a cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel the shells from the eggs and separate the yolk from the egg white, discarding the whites. In a food processor combine the egg yolks with a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, ½ a tablespoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Gradually add 100ml grapeseed oi, 30g finely grated parmesan cheese and ½ teaspoon of truffle oil.
