Steps
For the Flat Iron Tartare
- Place the flat iron steak in the freezer until partially firm but not frozen solid.
- Using a sharp knife, trim and dice the beef into even 3-5mm cubes. Transfer to a chilled bowl.
- Add shallot, chives, anchovy, capers, parsley, mustard, lemon juice and Calabrian chilli.
- Drizzle with enough olive oil to lightly bind.
- Season with salt and pepper and gently fold to combine.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the Crispy Potato Batons
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or saucepan to 180°C.
- Using a mandolin, slice the potato very thinly, then cut lengthways into thin batons.
- Rinse thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Pat completely dry. In batches, fry the potato batons until golden and crisp.
- Drain on a wire rack and season immediately with salt.
For the Crostini
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry baguette slices until deeply golden on both sides.
- Drain on paper towel.
For the Hibachi-Grilled Flat Iron
- Season the flat iron steak generously with salt and place on a wire rack. Allow to temper at room temperature for 30–45 minutes.
- Heat a hibachi or grill pan until very hot.
- Grill the steak, turning occasionally, until caramelised and cooked to medium rare (52–54°C internal).
- Rest for at least 10 minutes.
For the Salsa Verde
- Add parsley and mint to a jug that fits an immersion blender and blitz.
- Add Calabrian chilli, garlic and red wine vinegar. Blitz again and add enough olive oil to create a spoonable sauce and blitz.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
For the Fennel & Orange Salad
- Combine fennel and orange segments in a bowl.
- Dress with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt.
- Toss gently to combine.
To Serve
- Spoon the Flat Iron Tartare into a 10cm ring mould and press gently to compact.
- Create a small divot in the top and place the egg yolk in the centre.
- Carefully remove the ring mould.
- Arrange Crispy Potato Batons around the outer edge and fan the Crostini on the plate.
- Just before eating, break the yolk and mix through the tartare.
- Slice the rested Hibachi-Grilled Flat Iron against the grain and arrange along your serving plate.
- Spoon over Salsa Verde.
- Serve with Fennel and Orange Salad on the side.
