Rotolo of beef - here's how:

1 Tenderise beef slices with a meat mallet. Wrap each beef slice around a mortadella slice and a couple of sage leaves, then secure with a toothpick. Lightly brush each prepared roll with oil and grill until just cooked. Set aside to rest.

2 Meanwhile, barbecue the ear of corn until lightly blackened. Cut off the kernels and combine with the spinach leaves and capsicum.

3 Dress the corn and spinach salad with the olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Serve 2 rotoli to each guest (make sure you remove the toothpicks first) with a small pile of the corn and spinach salad.
