Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut beef into thin slices against the grain and lightly pound to even thickness.

2. Grate onion⁷, mince garlic⁶, and mix with salt. Rub the mixture over the beef and let marinate for 10 minutes.

3. Soak prunes⁴ in hot water for 10 minutes, then chop.

4. Grate cheese and mix with prunes⁴ and mayonnaise.

5. Place beef in a baking dish, top with tomato² slices, then spread the prune⁴-cheese mixture over the tomatoes.

6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35–40 minutes until golden brown; beef should be tender with clear juices.
