Cape Grim short rib, mustard leaf, gentleman’s relish

1.For gentleman’s relish, combine ingredients in a saucepan with ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper and 40ml water, simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, then process in a food processor until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve and refrigerate in a sterilised container until required. Makes 500ml. Gentleman’s relish will keep refrigerated for 6 months.

2.Heat oil over medium-high heat in a saucepan large enough to fit short ribs snugly in a single layer, add onion, carrot, celery and garlic and stir occasionally until caramelised (15-20 minutes). Add herbs and stock, bring to the simmer, skim scum from surface. Season short ribs generously, add to pan, cover tightly with foil and simmer very gently over low heat until meat is tender and almost falling from the bone (3½-4 hours).

3.Preheat oven to 180C. Transfer short rib to a shallow roasting pan with a little braising liquid and roast until beginning to caramelise (12-15 minutes). Dress mustard leaves in a little olive oil and salt, and place 2 leaves on each plate, along with a large spoonful of gentleman’s relish. Add one piece of Cape Grim short rib to each plate and serve hot.
