Beef tagliata with a spicy rub

As a barbecue staple, a first-class prime rib can be enough on its own. And yet, seasoned with Ultimate beef rub, your beef will be even more caramelised  on the outside and even more tender and juicy in the middle, with a taste you will rave about! For a complete meal, serve it on a bed of vegetables bed, as in this Tagliata recipe in collaboration with quadruple French barbecue champion Anthony Le Brière.

Beef tagliata with a spicy rub, the recipe

Preparation time:  10 minutes + 1 hour to rest

Cooking time: 15-20 minutes

Can be cooked on the barbecue, grill, in the oven or in a pan

Ingredients for 4 people:

•  1 good cut of beef (entrecôte or rib of beef) weighing around 1,2 kg
• 2 tablespoons of Ultimate beef spice mix
• Black Kampot pepper with salt PGI Terra Madre
• Rocket
• 200g of parmesan shavings
• 2 diced tomatoes
• 2 grilled peppers
• 20g of capers
• Pine nuts
• Balsamic vinegar
• Olive oil

The recipe:

Sprinkle the Ultimate beef spices over the meat, cover and leave at room temperature for one hour.

Before cooking, drizzle with olive oil so the beef doesn’t stick to the grill.

Cook the meat for between 15 and 20 minutes so it is rare inside, cover and leave to rest for a few minutes.

On an attractive board, arrange the rocket, diced tomato and slices of grilled pepper.

Cut the meat into strips and arrange on the salad.

Sprinkle with the shavings of parmesan, the Black Kampot pepper with salt , the capers and pine nuts.

Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil to taste

How do you like your beef cooked?

If you have a meat thermometer, use it to check how your beef is cooked (rare: 56 °C, pink: 63 °C, medium: 71 °C, well done: 77 °C).

Tip:  For a tagliata, the meat must be very tender, which is why it is possible to serve it at room temperature. If you are cooking it on the barbecue, we recommend an entrecote or a nice rib of beef, if you preparing it in the evening and cooking on a grill or in a pan, try a filet or rump steak.

Which teas go well with this dish?

Beef is usually accompanied by a glass of red wine, but how would tea work with this powerful meat? For a touch of freshness and a delicious complementary flavour, the Yunnan Green Special is fabulous. For spicy resonances Dhyāna fire black meditation tea or Light my Fire black tea are two options to try!
