Since competing in Masterchef Australia in 2012, Alice had the opportunity to take her meals and musings to a massive international audience. As a result, she has left her life as a School Teacher behind to become a Life Teacher. Alice is ready to bring her message to people (especially little people) across the country – and hopefully the world – through writing, performing and even the odd public appearance.

Ingredients

1kg Cape Grim scotch fillet

Generous sprinkling of salt flakes

Good sourdough loaf, sliced thickly

4-5 medium brown onions, finely sliced into rings

1 tbsp brown sugar

50 ml red wine vinegar

6-8 Frying potatoes, well washed and scrubbed

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola will work well)

6 Portobello mushrooms, sliced into thick discs

Olive oil

Fancy lettuce

Vintage cheddar slices

Kewpie mayonnaise

Tomato relish

Method

• Preheat oven to 200C.
• Preheat a pan to searing hot, pat the fillet dry with paper town, sprinkle the pan generously with salt flakes, and then sear the meat on all sides.
• Meanwhile, pop the onions, vinegar, sugar and water into a saucepan and leave to sweat and soften on a low heat while the meat roasts. It should be ready by the time the meat’s rested (the key here is to be patient and take it slow).
• Roast the fillet for 45-50 minutes for medium-rare. Rest for 10 minutes.
• Use a peeler or mandolin to thinly slice the potato into crisps, skin on. Heat the frying oil in a saucepan and shallow fry the crisps until golden brown.
• Heat another pan and grill the mushrooms until browned.
• Slice the beef with a sharp knife into thin slices against the grain.
• Toast the bread lightly, top with relish, mayo, lettuce, cheese, beef and another slice of bread. Serve with crisps.
