A few tips:
- Make sure to use a good quality beef and cheese. They are the main ingredients, hence you don’t want to compromise with the taste.
- The baking time of the meat will vary depending on how raw you prefer it. As you see I like by beef very raw. Bake it until it reaches 59-65 degrees inner temperature.
- You can use any blue cheese that you like and prefer. I used Roquefort for this dish.
- Let the meat rest before you slice it. It will let the it keep the liquid and get more tender.
- For the gremolata I used parsley, mint and cilantro. But you can use any herbs that you like or have at home.
- I don’t like making the gremolata too oily, since I don’t like oil that much. If the gremolata turns out too thick, add more oil, water or lemon juice to get the right constancy. Also taste to check if more seasoning is needed, its all about how you like it.
