  5. Finely slice cabbage until you have 2 cups worth; peel and grate carrot; thinly slice red onion. Add to a medium bowl with spinach and remaining Asian dressing. Set aside.
  6. Heat a drizzle of oil in a small fry-pan on medium-high heat. Remove beef from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Cook beef for 2-3 minutes each side for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered with foil, to rest for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Place Asian cabbage slaw and beef scotch fillet onto a plate and serve roasted pumpkin on the side.
