Rare Roast Beef with Tonnato
This appetising recipe from Chef Shellie Froidevaux is her take on a traditional dish called ‘vitello tonnato’. In Italian ‘vitello’ means veal and ‘tonnato’ is a creamy mayonnaise like sauce flavoured with tuna. Sounds like an odd combination but trust us when we say it’s a match made in heaven! Roasted in the Panasonic NN-CD58J 3-in-1 Convection Microwave Oven.
