Local Chef 'Devilysh Desserts' has paired some fabulous recipes with our wines - we hope you enjoy this delicious dish accompanied with a glass of Brown Hill Ivanhoe Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - a magnificient Margaret River Cabernet!

Ingredients:

400g eye fillet streak, trimmed

150g Shadows of Blue (at room temp)

Sea salt

Cracked pepper

1 fresh pomegranate

1 bunch of watercress

50ml cherry balsamic

 

METHOD:

Place the beef fillet in the freezer until it is half-frozen.

While meat is freezing, remove the pulp from the pomegranate by cutting it in half and smacking the bottom the half with a wooden spoon, gather up the pulp and set aside.

Remove meat from the freezer and cut into very thin slices using a very sharp knife. Place each slice between 2 pieces of greaseproof paper and gently beat with a rolling pin or mallet to thin out the slices even more.

Arrange the thinly sliced carpaccio on two plates and sprinkle pomegranate on top, using a teaspoon, spoon blue cheese into plates, season heavily with salt and pepper.

In a bowl place watercress leaves and drizzle with a small amount of cherry balsamic. Then divide between the two plates and place on top of the meat, drizzle remaining balsamic over the top. Serve immediately.

Enjoy served with a glass of our elegant and silky Ivanhoe Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
