Where to find ingredients
Lean beef: Visit your local butcher for top-quality lean beef and specifically ask them to mince it finely (the '3 times' pass is standard for a smooth, spreadable texture). Onions, spring onions, and parsley: Easily sourced from any supermarket or greengrocer. Olive oil: Look for a good quality extra virgin olive oil in the baking and oils aisle of any major shop. Dark bread: A dark, dense, crusty loaf or traditional Irish brown soda bread works best to provide a hearty base for the beef spread.
Preparation method
- Place the finely minced beef into a mixing bowl
- Add the finely diced onion to the meat
- Season the mixture with salt and black pepper
- Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the beef
- Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined
- Spread the mixture generously over slices of dark bread or brown soda bread
- Finish by scattering the chopped spring onions and parsley on top before serving
Observations
This dish is a fantastic choice for a casual bite or appetiser. It is traditionally served spread over slices of dark, crusty bread to perfectly balance the intense flavour of the seasoned raw beef.
