Flash Roast Beef with Garlic, Rosemary & Girolles

Schiacciata is the sister dish of carpaccio, but while carpaccio's raw, this is literally flashed in the oven so it just turns colour. Obviously the better the beef the better the dish. So go for something with good marbling and a bit of integrity. It can be served on a sharing platter with different salads sprinkled on top. The truffle oil's optional, but the flavour is interesting, so give it a try because it's something new. This whole dish is impressive and damn tasty.
