As part of a main course, serve with roast potatoes or mash, vegetables and onion gravy. Alternatively serve hot or cold as a snack or tapa with salad and/or a salsa

Chef's notes
Season with salt by all means, BUT if a) you are not starting the cooking process straight away or b) cooking for a long period or c) using the cook-chill method, it would be better to salt just before searing. Contact between meat and salt for a longer length of time may cause the meat to be dry.
