Matt Golinski’s – BBQ Eye Fillet with Kale, Purple carrot and Fennel Slaw and Persian Fetta

This is a classic summer BBQ dish with a bit of a twist. By using kale instead of cabbage, purple carrots and finely sliced fennel, you are turning an old favourite into something interesting and gourmet. Adding a little Persian fetta to the salad at the end gives it a beautiful creamy, salty hit. If purple carrots aren’t available, you can easily substitute regular orange carrots.
