Hay-Smoked Australian Wagyu Beef Tartare on Grilled Avocado Toast, created by our Aussie Beef Mate, Chef Isaac Tan. Tender Australian Wagyu beef, known for its rich marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture, is delicately smoked with hay for a delightful smoky flavour. Paired with creamy grilled avocado toast, this dish brings together savoury and creamy textures for a satisfying experience.
Brown the butter in a pan, then add shallots, garlic, capers, and anchovies. Cook until foamy and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Spread both sides of the sliced sourdough with butter and Dijon mustard. Pan-toast the sourdough with macadamia nut oil until brown. Set aside in a warm area.
In the same pan, fry the avocado halves until nicely brown and tender. Set aside to cool.
Brush the oyster blade with some olive oil and season with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes. After that, sear the beef over high heat for 3-4 minutes per side. Create a smoking pan with hay and smoke the beef for about 3 minutes before use.
Cut the seared beef into small cubes and mix with the cooked ingredients. Season with black pepper and add chopped chives.
To assemble, slice the avocado thinly and lay on top of the toasted sourdough bread. Top with the beef mixture and garnish with finger lime caviar and a drizzle of macadamia nut oil.
