A grass-fed chuck steak -- check out that marbling!
Following a Marcella Hazen recipe, I seared that steak but left it underdone; I then then made a reduction sauce of sherry and ho-made 2017 Syrah, with fresh garlic, fennel, and Calabrian peppers. The steak was then finished off cooking in the sauce, and garnished with parsley. I tried some lion's mane 'shrooms, sauteed and finished with garlic and butter. Nice, but a little bitter (I think because they were a bit old?). I served this with leftover potato wedges, mizuna greens, and bacon gremolata from a few days ago. Finally, I sauteed some pieces of ho-made bacon, then cooked some red Napa cabbage and leeks in the fat, and added some apple cider vinegar at the end. Not bad!
All washed down with a WE Eclipse Nebbiolo.
