1 punnet curled cress, washed
1 punnet micro shiso, cut away from roots & gently washed

Method
The day before
1 Oyster blade: Remove all sinew from oyster blade, taking extra care through the centre. Sprinkle transglutaminase over centre area where sinew has been removed. Wrap oyster blade tightly in plastic wrap to form an oval shape. Set in fridge for 6hrs or overnight.
2 Oyster blade: Set immersion circulator to 55.5C. Remove oyster blade from plastic wrap and smear with 60g of miso paste. Place in cyrovac bag and vacuum seal on medium to high vacuum. Cook in immersion circulator for 14 hours. When complete, plunge into iced water. Once cool, remove beef from bag and re-wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Freeze overnight.

On day
3 Praline: 30 minutes before serving, place sugar in stainless steel pot and over medium to high heat, brown sugar until it reaches a hard crack stage. Add toasted sesame seeds and immediately pour into tray lined with silicon paper. Cool, then blend into a coarse power.
4 Vinaigrette: Prepare vinaigrette by combining remaining miso paste, sake and peanut oil. Mixture will split, this is intentional.

To Serve
1 Remove beef from freezer and slice with a meat slicer as thinly as possible.
2 Lay slices of beef on plate and top with a tablespoon of praline, followed by asparagus shavings, curled cress, micro shiso, radish and drizzle with vinaigrette.
