Spicy Beef Pastrami Toast

Serve this delicious warm sandwich as a starter or add an extra piece of toasted bread on top as a quick and tasty lunch option

Step 1
Place the pepper, fennel seeds, and ground rosemary in the middle of one side of an A3-sized piece of SAGA Cooking Paper. Fold the other half over the spices and gently pound them with a wooden mallet until they are crushed. Unfold and evenly spread out the spices over the sheet of paper leaving a border around the edges.

Step 2
If necessary, trim the meat and then cook in a frying pan until it is just how you like it - rare, medium, or well done!

Step 3
Place the hot meat on top of the paper and roll it so that it is coated all over with the crushed spices. Make a SAGA loaf with the meat to allow it to marinate in the spices as it cools down.

Step 4
Chop the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion. Peel the black salsify, chop into 6 cm long pieces and transfer immediately to a pan of water to avoid discoloration. Simmer for 6-12 minutes, depending on the thickness, until ripe and firm.

Step 5
Thinly slice the meat and serve on freshly made toast with tomatoes, onion, rocket, and salsify.
