ingredients

  • 150 g Kobe Beef
  • 50 g Truffle Potato Purée
  • 20 ml Smoked BBQ Jack Daniel’s Jus
  • 30 g Baby Vegetables
  • 1 piece Crispy Kale
  • 5 g Microgreens and Edible Flowers for Garnish

Method

  • Step 1

    Kobe Beef Steak: Season the Kobe beef steak with salt, pepper, and olive oil on each side. Heat the pan thoroughly on medium-to-medium-high heat and sear the steak for 45 seconds on one side and 30 seconds on the other for a rare cook. For thicker steaks, sear for one minute on each side. Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving, and then slice it thinly.

  • Step 2

    Truffle Potato Purée: Boil the potatoes with thyme and garlic until soft. Remove the skin, mash the potatoes, and pass them through a sieve. Add warm fresh milk and cold butter cubes, whisking until smooth. Finally, use a microplane to grate fresh black truffle mushroom over the purée, and season with sea salt.

  • Step 3

    Smoked BBQ Jack Daniel’s Jus: Begin by caramelizing white onion, diced red bell peppers, thyme, and garlic. Once sautéed, deglaze with Jack Daniel's whiskey and balsamic vinegar. Cook until reduced by half, then add demi-glace and continue to reduce. Season with salt and pepper. Strain the sauce and place it in a container. Cover the container with double layers of cling film and aluminum foil, poking a small hole. Smoke with cherry wood for 3-4 hours. Before serving, add a small cube of butter to finish the sauce.

  • Step 4

    Baby Vegetables: Select your choice of baby vegetables, clean them, blanch in salted boiling water, and then cool them in ice water. Finally, sauté the vegetables in butter and season with salt.

  • Step 5

    Crispy Kale: Wash the kale leaves, season with olive oil and salt flakes, and cook in a combi oven at 160°C for 5 minutes until crispy.
