Grilled skirt steak:
600g skirt steak
Drizzle of olive oil
½ a handful of sea salt
½ a handful of cracked black pepper
Truffled pecorino and miso spinach salad:
100g spinach
5g dry miso seasoning
20g pecorino
20ml truffle oil
Yogurt flatbread:
300g Greek yogurt
3 large pinches of sea salt (plus extra)
½ tsp bi-carb soda
50ml olive oil
250g plain flour
Tarragon mustard:
15g English hot mustard
Juice of half a lemon
1 bunch of tarragon, leaves picked and finely chopped
Pickled red onion:
400ml rice wine vinegar
1 star anise
3 cloves
600ml water
1 clove garlic
2/3 cup caster sugar
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 star anise
1 clove garlic
1 cinnamon stick
1 tbsp sea salt
Fresh thyme
1 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 peeled red onion (use a mandolin to slice into thin discs)
Step 1: Pickled red onion
• In a saucepan, add the pickling liquid ingredients and bring to the boil.
• Pour the hot liquid over the red onion through a sieve.
• Leave to pickle for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Grilled skirt steak
• Trim the skirt steak of any excess fat, rub with olive oil and season heavily with sea salt and pepper. Allow the steak to reach room temperature before grilling over a searingly high heat
for two to four minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for eight minutes.
• After resting, slice thinly across the grain.
Step 3: Yogurt flatbread
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, yogurt, salt and bi-carb soda.
• When you have a dough-like texture, remove from the bowl and divide into five balls.
• On a dry surface with extra flour, press the dough out onto thin, round discs.
• Before cooking, brush one side with olive oil and season with sea salt.
• Do the same to the other side once you have placed the oiled side onto the grill.
• Grill over a high heat for 45 seconds to 1 minute on each side. Remove from the heat.
Step 4: Tarragon mustard
• In a small bowl, combine the English hot mustard, ¾ of the tarragon and lemon juice.
Step 5: Truffled pecorino and miso spinach salad
• To clean and crisp the spinach, place briefly into ice water.
• Use a salad spinner to remove the excess water, place into a bowl, drizzle with truffle oil, toss, add the dry miso and pecorino and toss again. Use immediately.
Step 6: Assemble
• Layer the dish with the flatbread as the base, top with spinach salad, add the steak, pickled onion, a drizzle of tarragon mustard and garnish with tarragon leaves.
