Ingrédients
-
1 piece of entrecôte (approx. 500 g), with a rich fat cap from the local Vermella Menorquina breed (the red cow)
-
coarse sea salt
-
black pepper, freshly ground
-
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Préparation
1. Prepare the meat
Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat.
Rub all over with sea salt.
Add pepper only after grilling.
2. Heat the grill
Bring the Atago with good charcoal to a strong ember heat.
The grill grate should be well preheated; you need strong heat for a good crust.
3. Searing
Sear the entrecôte over direct heat for about 1.5–2 minutes per side until a nice crust forms.
Then move it to the indirect zone or push the embers slightly aside.
4. Finishing the cook
Let the meat come up to 53 °C core temperature (medium rare). → about 10–15 minutes depending on heat and thickness.
5. Crisping the fat edge
- Hold the entrecôte with the fat side directly over the embers
- The rendered fat will drip into the fire – watch out for flare-ups!
- Grill until the fat edge is crispy and golden brown.
Cut off the fat edge and dice it.
- Let the meat rest briefly, slice against the grain, and garnish with the crispy fat pieces.
