Wattleseed Beef Tenderloin by Benjamin Christie

Whilst working at the Duxton Hotel in Singapore a few years back, I was inspired by a French chef who used to make dish he called Coffee Beef. The dish does sound unusual, however my version using wattleseed is rather subtle compared to the over powering strong coffee aromas that his dish produced. I first did this dish whilst guest…

We took a corned beef brisket and did a heavy pepper crust then smoked it for 6 hours. When you smoke corned beef you’re making Pastrami and it’s good just on your plate or thin sliced for subs. Patti likes to…

I love Rueben sandwiches. I would eat them hourly if I could. So why not a Rueben casserole? It turned out fantastic. The taste is nearly identical to the sandwich and no greasy fingers. This has become a thing now.
