Step-by-step method
- 01Rub beef with oil and sprinkle with pepper
- 02Place a piece of foil in the base of a wok and place wood shavings, rosemary and sugar on foil. Place over high heat until smoking. Place beef on a circular rack that fits inside wok. Cover with wok lid and smoke over medium heat for 20 minutes.
- 03Wrap beef in cling wrap into a tight cylinder and place in freezer for 30 minutes to firm up slightly. When almost ready to serve, unwrap beef and slice as thinly as possible and cover the surface of the meat with cling wrap as you go so it doesn't discolour.
- 04For dressing, whisk mustard, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper until combined. Thin with a teaspoon or 2 of water if desired. Serve beef with rocket and parmesan, drizzled with dressing and extra olive oil if desired. Serve ciabatta on the side.

Chef's tips
- Use a sharp knife and hold the beef firmly to make your slices as thin as possible
