2.Blanch beans in boiling salted water until bright green (1-2 minutes). Drain and refresh, then combine in a bowl with beetroot, wasabi leaves and parsley.
3.For buttermilk dressing, whisk buttermilk, lemon juice, mustard, garlic and oil in a small bowl to combine, then season to taste.
4.Drizzle dressing over salad, add beef, toss lightly to combine and serve.
If baby yellow beetroot are unavailable, substitute regular baby beetroot. Wasabi leaves have a slightly peppery bite similar to horseradish and are available from select delicatessens. If they’re unavailable, substitute baby rocket.
