Entrée - Accompanied by Mumm NV Champagne
Kibbeh Nayeh of Coorong Angus Beef Fillet
This dish was amazing light as air yet still with a real beefy zing to it. Basically a paste with subtle herbs and seasonings and served on crunchy flatbread
Spiced Pure Suffolk Lamb Sausage & Rock Oyster
The lamb sausage was made from some of the meat from the leg and shoulder and was presented as quite large chunks. The sausage was topped by a single pickled Sydney Rock Oyster which the vinegary richness contrasted with the rich spicy sausage
Braised Coorong Angus Beef Brisket in Suet Pastry
The pastry for this was amazing - they were tiny little brisket pies with the fully on beefy flavour wrapped up in a suet pastry which was light and rich and just awesome - couldn't have just one!
Deep-Fried Coorong Angus Beef Short Ribs
Close to the highlight for me yet a more simple dish than some. The rib meat had been diced into approx 1.5cm cubes and the ribs had been cooked through and had a sticky sweet sauce coating each little morsel which it really was impossible to stop eating until the whole lot was gone!

Beef Consommé, Jellied Shin and Sirloin - Morris of Rutherglen - Amontillado
The jellied shin was a thin sliced of shredded shin set in a jelly made from the shin itself was accompanied by 2 thin sliced of raw Coorong Angus Beef sirloin completely denuded of fat. The two cuts of meat then had a beef consomme poured over them which ever so slightly cooked the raw sirloin and melted the jelly around the shin setting slivers of slow cooked beef shin loose to float throughout the consomme.
Roast Rack of Lamb, Jalapeno Dressing - accompanied by 18YO Chivas Regal Scotch
This was amazing a single cutlet of Pure suffolk lamb along with a denuded slice of the Pure Suffolk striploin. The jalepeno dressing also contained some roasted lamb round meat was cleansing with the well flavoured lamb the Chivas Regal was an intriging match
