● 50 g lettuce

● 1 tbsp cooking oil



1. Clean the blood off the beef, remove fat and tendons, cut into 5 cm-wide, 7 cm-long and 0.3-0.5 cm thick pieces perpendicular to the grain of the meat. Score them slightly and marinate in pear juice for 10 min.

3. Trim and wash lettuce under running water cleanly.

4. Remove tops of the pine nuts and clean the remainder, pound them finely to a powder.
