Slowly defrost overnight in the fridge. Remove from vacuum pack and place on the countertop for 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Trim of excessive silver skin as seen in the image. Season lightly with quality olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Due to the uneven thickness of the cut, you need to cook it slowly and make sure to turn it very often.
The cut is very lean, therefore you need to make sure it does not cook without oil. Add olive oil or quality butter if necessary.
Use a meat thermometer to measure the core temperature of the thickest part. We highly recommend medium-rare doneness for quality steaks. Once it has reached around 50 degrees Celsius (125 degrees Fahrenheit) - remove the steak and wrap it tightly into aluminum foil. Allow the steak to evenly cook on residual heat for 10 minutes.
Unwrap and cut into slices against the grain as seen in the images. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and enjoy while warm.
Enjoy!
Translated from Japanese: I was looking for real animal ethical beef. Since the lives of animals become my own, I always wanted them to be treated as "living creatures" at least. In that sense as well, I found HORIZON FARMS, who handle carefully selected ingredients, and purchased their products.
The attached pamphlet explains not only the state of each farm, but also how to handle and eat the products carefully so that the best ingredients can be eaten to the best taste. As stated, after opening the vacuum pack for a while, the meat turned bright red. That alone impressed me (laughs).
The beef I bought this time is not evenly shaped, so after removing the streaks, I cut it to make the thickness as even as possible, and sautéed the large part and used the small parts to make soup at a later time. For the sautéed part, I bought a meat thermometer and cooked it carefully and "preciously". When I cut it, there were thick and thin parts, and I enjoyed it medium rare and well-done, and both were good.
As you can see in the picture, I also added Greek yogurt sauce (Tzatziki), but it was not good because the meat was low in fat and light, so the taste of the meat was overshadowed when it was combined with the sauce. As suggested, salt alone was delicious enough. (I think that it was completely different from the ingredients produced at factories.)
It's a waste to enjoy such wonderful ingredients alone, so I invited a friend to enjoy it together. It was a very fulfilling time for my stomach and heart. Thank you for the good product. I will purchase it again.
Probably the best cut for beef tartare, tastier than fillet and much cheaper
