The signature dish

Char-grilled tenderloin of wagyu beef with natural jus, gaufrette potatoes, asparagus spears and grilled tomatoes
Chef Mohammed says: ‘This is my signature dish because it makes use of Australian Wagyu beef tenderloin steak, grade nine, which cannot be found in many of the restaurants in the city. This is a special kind of quality meat grilled and presented in a special way.’

The recipe
