This dish is an epic textural flavour bomb. The potatoes are soaked to remove starch, dried, then wok-fried until crisp-tender. If you have one on hand, use a mandoline for even cuts, or sharpen your knife skills with practice.
The beef fillet is lean and easy to cook - never go past medium to keep it juicy and tender. Serve with steamed rice, a quick wombok stir-fry, or a green salad for a fancy, delicious feast. Trust us!

To prepare sesame beef
For the potato shreds
To cook sesame beef
1
Line a large tray with baking paper. Cut the beef across the grain into 1cm-thick slices, then season with the salt.
2
Put the rice flour and sesame seeds on separate plates, and put the egg into a bowl. Working with one slice at a time, dip the beef into the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drain off.
3
Finally, dip into the sesame seeds, pressing to coat all over. Repeat with the remaining beef slices, placing them on the lined tray in a single layer as you go.
4
Cover the tray with plastic wrap then refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight to firm up the coating.
