Ingredients

4 persons

Steak sandwiches

  • 8 slices of sourdough bread
  • 1 kg of short rib entrecôte
  • 0.5 bump, bruised
  • sprig of rosemary
  • 0.5 splash of peanut oil
  • 0.5 leek stalk
  • 0.5 pinch of curry powder
  • 0.5 pinch of cumin
  • 175 grams of aged cheese
  • baking butter
  • salt and pepper

Mayonnaise

  • 2.5 egg yolks
  • 0.5 tablespoon mustard
  • 250 milliliters peanut oil
  • 0.5 piece of lemon, the juice
  • 1 tablespoon ELVEA red pesto
  • 1 tablespoon ELVEA green pesto
  • salt and pepper

Salad

  • 175 grams mixed salad
  • 0.5 piece of lemon, the juice
  • 0.5 dash of olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. 1

    Place the meat in a large roasting dish and add the crushed garlic, rosemary, and a splash of peanut oil. Place in a preheated oven at 50 °C for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Put the egg yolks and mustard in a bowl. Whisking continuously, slowly pour in the peanut oil in a thin stream until the mayonnaise thickens. Season to taste with pepper, salt, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Divide the mayonnaise among three bowls. Mix the ELVEA red pesto into one portion and the ELVEA green pesto into a second portion. Leave the third portion plain.

  4. 4

    Cut the leeks in half and chop them into large pieces. Drizzle with oil and season with cumin, curry powder, pepper, and salt. Grill the leeks on a greased plancha on the barbecue over low heat until tender. Then chop them finely.

  5. 5

    Top the slices of sourdough bread with the aged cheese and braised leek. Toast the sandwiches on both sides until golden brown on the plancha.

  6. 6

    Toss the mixed salad with the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, pepper, and salt.

  7. 7

    Take the meat out of the oven and briefly grill it on the barbecue. Let it rest for a moment and slice it.

  8. 8

    Cut the sandwiches into pieces and serve with the steak slices, salad, and the three kinds of mayonnaise.
