Method
Pat the beef fillet dry and season generously all over with salt.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over high heat until smoking.
Sear the beef for 45 seconds on each side until deeply browned all over but still rare in the centre, then transfer immediately to a plate of ice to stop the cooking.
Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar and grated ginger to make the dressing.
Slice the beef very thinly across the grain.
Arrange the slices on a plate, spoon over the dressing and scatter with sliced spring onions and sliced garlic.
