BEEF, BLUEBERRIES & BURNT ONIONS The bright, bold freshness of blueberries dances beautifully with red meat. Toss over crispy charred onions and you got yourself a complete meal in every bite.
INGREDIENTS • 1 10- to 12-ounce flank steak • 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced • 1/2 cup blueberries (frozen is fine) • 1 tbsp. butter • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard • 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar • 1 tsp. brown sugar • 1 tbsp. fresh thyme
INSTRUCTIONS » In a medium/hot skillet or fry pan, add a splash of olive oil. Season steak heavily on both sides, sear for three to four minutes per side or until desired doneness is achieved (around four minutes per side for medium-rare depending on thickness). Remove and let rest for five minutes. » Meanwhile, in a dry fry pan over medium/high heat, add onions and a good pinch of salt. Turn occasionally until very well seared. » In a small pot on medium heat, add blueberries, butter, Dijon, vinegar, sugar, thyme and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer until sauce reduces and begins to thicken. Sauce should coat the back of a wooden spoon. Check seasoning and remove. » Cut the flank in 1/2-inch slices across the grain. Drizzle sauce over meat and add burnt onions. I also enjoy this dish with a handful of fresh cilantro. julY 7 - aug 4, 2018 41
