About

This marinade not only flavours the meat, but it ‘cures’ it slightly, firming the flesh and changing its texture. You will need to marinate the meat a few days before you need it.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons demerara sugar
2 red chillies, finely chopped
800 g (

Main course

Method

Rub sugar and chillies into fillet and place it in a non-metal dish that will comfortably hold it. After 1 hour, turning fillet once, pour soy sauce over meat, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Turn meat by a quarter rotation every 12 hours for 2 days.

Remove meat from marinade. Reserve 2 tab
