Ingredients

To grill:

  • 250 gr Steak 2 pieces, about 2,5 cm thick
  • 1 Eggplant cut lengthwise in thin slices
  • 1 Zucchini cut lengthwise in thin slices
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper cut lengthwise in thin slices
  • 1 yellow Bell Pepper cut lengthwise in thin slices
  • 2 big carrots cut lengthwise in thin slices
  • Salt n Peppa
  • Oliveoil

For the dressing with the vegetables:

  • 1 onion   finely diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic finely sliced
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves chopped
  • 1 tsp coriander powder cilantro
  • 1 tbsp good and coarse mustard
  • ½ bottle sweet beer sour cherry
  • ½ lime (only the juice)

Instructions

First some tips to get you better results:

  • # 1: Never throw your steak directly from the fridge into your pan. Give that cold meat a good rest outside the fridge (at least 30 minutes), to bring it to room temperature.
  • This is essential for a juicy steak packed with flavour.
  • # 2: Although it may look like quite an ivestment, do buy a good, cast iron grillpan. Even better: when you can afford it, throw in a couple of coins and buy a Creuset grillpan or something the same quality. I have become quite attached to my Creuset pan and it looks very manly to handle a pan of about 4 kilo.
  • # 3: . Ofcourse you have to turn the meat in your grillpan. Use thongs and not a fork to turn the meat. A fork punctures those little holes in you meat and gives an escape to all that juicy flavors. Using a fork with your meat is like saying: "Bye, bye, soft and moist steak; hello, dry and tasteless meat.

Making the sauce:

  • Cook the onion in a frying pan until glazed. Add bay leae and thyme and let it simmer for about two minutes
  • Add the beer and limejuice and stir in the mustard and corainderpowder. Bring to a boil again and let simmer for a minute or two. Then turn off the heat under the sauce.

Making the perfect steak:

  • Heat the grillpan (no oil) on a high heat
  • Rub the steak good with salt'n peppa and then rub them with the oliveoil. Let them rest for a couple of minutes in clingfilm or a small plastic bag. Prep a plate with tinfoil on which you let the steaks come to rest after the grilling
  • I like 'me steak' best if it's between rare and medium rare, so this is how I cook it. When the first smoke leaves the grillpan, put in the steaks and sear them for 2 minutes on each side. Turn them with the thongs. After four minutes (2x2) get the steaks from the pan and pack  them in tinfoil for a brief five minute rest. Continue grilling the vegetables.

Grilling the veggies:

  • Take a small brush and brush the veggies with oliveoil. Grill them in the grillpan
  • It only takes a few minutes to grill the veggies so turn them after a minute or two
  • Plate up the vegetables and pour them with the reduced sauce. Serve the hero of this dish, the perfect steak next to the veggies.
