Rare Roasted Eye Fillet Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls With Mango & Mint
Dip
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 160c & heat a frying pan to very hot. Season eye fillet steaks with salt and pepper and sear with a little oil in the pan for 2 minutes on each side until golden.
Step 2
Transfer to oven and cook for 3 minutes each side. For rare cook to 50c internal using a digital meat thermometer. Remove from oven, allow to rest for 5 minutes on a cooling rack and chill in the fridge.
Step 3
For the dressing, combine fish sauce, sugar, lime juice & water and stir until dissolved. Add chili & garlic.
Step 4
Cut the Lebanese cucumber into 8 chunky batons, removing the seeds and thinly slice some carrot juliennes. Remove the cheeks from the mango and with a spoon scoop the flesh from the skin. Cut each cheek into 8 long slices.
Step 5
Slice each steak into 8 slices and spoon over a little dressing. To roll the rice paper rolls, dip each sheet into hot water for 5 seconds and place onto a clean board.
Step 6
Assemble the beef, mango, mint, cucumber, carrot & snow peas in each one, horizontally from centre to the left-hand side, with a little hanging out the end. Fold the right edge of the rice paper back over the filling to make a semi-circle, then roll from the bottom to the top to form a tight roll.
Step 7
Enjoy straight away or refrigerate covered with a damp cloth for later.
