50g cooked, small peeled sliced kipfler potatoes
50g cooked, washed and trimmed baby leeks

50g cooked, green beans, cut in half
50g cooked asparagus tips, peeled

100ml truffle mayonnaise (see recipe)

Truffle slices optional
Preparation
Combine all the marinade ingredients, allow to infuse for 30 minutes or so.
Roll the beef through the marinade and leave overnight.
The following day, drain of excess marinade and pan sear very quickly all over in a little olive oil, rolling the beef on all sides as it sears. N.B This process should take no longer than one minute.
Once the beef has been seared, allow to cool slightly, then roll tightly several times in cling wrap as tightly as possible.
Place in the freezer to chill so the meat is firm as possible without freezing.
Make the mayonnaise using the normal mayonnaise method - beating the egg yolks till pale then gradually adding the oil - still beating - until absorbed. Finally blend in the vinegar, mustard and truffle oil and garnish with chives.
Combine all the ingredients for the vinaigrette.
To serve, slice the beef tataki into 8 rounds, around 2mm thick.
Take your prepared vegetables except kipfler potato slices and toss in the truffle dressing, lightly season and arrange in a circular fashion on top of the beef, leaving some room in the centre for the potato salad.
For the potato salad, toss the cooked potato with the truffled mayonnaise so they are lightly coated, arrange in a pile in the centre of the plate, decorate with truffle slices and herbs.
