Preparing flank steak: Steak recipe with salsa

Flank steak with broad beans and chanterelle salsa

Ingredients
  • 850 g Flanksteak
  • 1 kg broad beans (pods)
  • 3 spring onions
  • 100g cherry tomatoes
  • 500 g chanterelles
  • 8 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 rote Chillischote
  • 2 small mustard pickles
  • Salt
  • Rohrzcker
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 5 EL Balsamessig
  • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 8 tablespoons sunflower oil
Method
  1. For the flank steak, slowly and thoroughly heat a heavy frying pan. Season the steak on all sides with salt and generously coat with 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Sear on both sides for 4–5 minutes. Keep warm in a 50°C (120°F) oven and let rest for about 30 minutes. Before serving, sear briefly on both sides, season to taste, and slice into 2 cm (¾ inch) thick slices against the grain.
  2. Remove the beans from their pods. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, blanch the beans for 2 minutes, then remove them. Plunge them into a bowl of ice water, then remove the beans from their skins and set aside.
  3. Clean, peel, and finely chop the spring onions, garlic, and chili pepper. Dice the gherkins and quarter the cherry tomatoes. Combine all the chopped ingredients in a bowl, season with salt, sugar, and cayenne pepper, and let marinate.
  4. For the dressing, mix balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and lemon juice with 3 pinches of salt and the maple syrup, season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.
  5. Clean the chanterelles and wash them briefly, then dry them on a kitchen towel. Sauté the mushrooms in a preheated pan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil for 3 minutes over very high heat. Deglaze with the dressing and remove from the heat. Gently stir in the crisp marinated vegetables and broad beans, and arrange on a plate with the steak slices. Finally, drizzle with sunflower oil.

Flank steak with a twist – served on a salsa of fresh chanterelle mushrooms and broad beans. Soy sauce, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup form the flavorful base for this meat recipe.
