This dish is a smaller portion of one of the most popular main dishes available on the Hippopotamus dinner menu. Adapted to be simple and accessible for the home cook, it leverages local New Zealand ingredients such as horopito and kawakawa, native New Zealand herbs that enhance the flavour of high-quality local beef.
