Ready in just 30 minutes, this gluten-free, soy-free appetizer is as elegant as it is easy to prepare, ideal for entertaining or a light and satisfying dinner.
Start by preparing the beef tenderloin. Pat it dry with paper towels and season all sides generously with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering hot, sear the beef on all sides for about 1-2 minutes per side until a nice crust forms. The inside should remain rare.
Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the marinade by combining the apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl. Mix well until the honey is dissolved.
Once the beef has rested, slice it thinly across the grain.
Arrange the beef slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the beef is marinating, chop the green onions and slice the radishes.
After marinating, arrange the beef slices on a serving platter.
Garnish the beef with chopped green onion, sliced radish, and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free beef tataki.
