Bife angosto | Striploin

Striploin steak with lavender flowers, ratatouille and cheese-stuffed parmentière

1. Salt the striploin (250 g – 0.55 lb).
2. Cook on both sides on hot grill until medium done. This simple way of cooking respects the natural flavors of this exceptional product.

Garnish with: Lavender flowers sauce (lavender flowers cooked in meat broth); ratatouille (diced eggplant,  zucchini, onion, sweet pepper, tomato with thyme and bay leaves) and cheese stuffed parmentière potatoes.

Striploin: a cut with a balanced proportion of fat, extended in a firm and even cover. Its marbling enhances the taste of its delicate fibers.

Suggested wine:

2 to 4-year-old Tannat a (full bodied, ripe tannins).

Chef: Martín Pérez
