Method:

1. Beef – Trim the short rib of any excess fat and set aside. Add all the beef glaze ingredients to a pan bring to a simmer, mixing and set aside to cool.

2. Place the short rib in a sous vide bag with half of the glaze, seal and cook in a water bath 70°C for 16 hours. Chill and refrigerate until needed.

3. Fermented Daikon – Peel and grate the daikon/mooli and finely slice the spring onions. Mix in the salt and place in an airtight container (fermentation takes 4-5 days ambient). Once fermented, deseed, and dice the tomato and mix through the ferment.

4. Salsa Matcha – Place the toasted pumpkin seeds and oil in a blend until smooth. Add to a pan with all the other salsa matcha ingredients. Bring to a simmer and allow to cool slightly. Set aside until needed.

5. Mix all the Togorashi ingredients together and set aside.

6. Split the baby gems into larger outer leaves and smaller hearts and wash. Take the hearts, split in half and char on a grill or with a blow torch and finish in the oven. Shred down once cool.

7. Take the beef out of the bag. Remove from the bone and then slice ½ cm thick. Lay on a tray and brush with more glaze. Place under a hot grill until sticky and hot.

8. To serve place the washed leaves on a large plate. Add some of the charred lettuce in the base followed by the daikon ferment. Add the slices of beef and top with the Togorashi crumb. Drizzle a bit more glaze over the beef.
