Seared Fillet Of Beef with Celeriac and Tofu Salad

I’m going to use fillet of beef for my recipe, but you can use, rump, sirloin, I’d stay clear of rib for this,

I know celeriac isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and, to be fair, I’m not a huge fan, but prepared this way will totally convince you otherwise

I’m searing my beef in a pan, but you’ll get a fantastic sear and fantastic flavour if you are able to use the BBQ

Also, this dish eats so much better RARE, but you can cook the beef to whatever doneness you want

This recipe will serve two people
