Steak Noodle Salad
Recently I had the pleasure of joining Marks & Spencer for a cookery class, rustling up a delicious beef burger and steak salad at Atelier des Chefs in Marylebone. Not only did we get to help prepare cook and prepare wonderful dishes with M&S ingredients, we were also able to hear from M&S head chefs and their Marks and Spencer beef suppliers. We learned about salt ageing processes, Marks & Spencer's Best Ever Burger and how they can trace their beef back to not only the farm, but the cow it came from. Following lots of cooking, catching up and Q&As, we all sat down together to eat the delicious food we'd made. An evening of brilliant food and even better company. I love partnering with M&S, not least for their food and flowers, but for the great people they have working behind the scenes. They always put on a fab event!The dish I most enjoyed on the evening was a beef salad we created using the finest beef steak and raw salad ingredients from M&S Food. I wanted to recreate this for myself and Stew, but decided to make a couple of alterations, taking it from a lunch time treat to a fulfilling dinner. The secret ingredient in the recipe is a pickled red cabbage slaw from M&S, which really makes the dish pop!Ingredients (serves 2):
