Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- 1 piece beef steak meat (about 200-300g)
- 1/3 onion
- 1 pack cherry tomatoes (3 times the amount of onion)
- 2 strips bacon
- 2.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp honey or syrup
- a little prepared mustard or horseradish
- appropriate amount of garnish vegetables (kabocha squash, bell pepper, mushrooms, asparagus, rosemary, etc.)
- generous amount of cooking oil
- a little salt
- a little pepper
Recipe 🍳
- Roughly chop the onion and wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly, leaving them whole.
- Add cooking oil to a pan and sauté the chopped onion over high heat until slightly smoky to develop a charred flavor.
- When the onion turns golden, add the cherry tomatoes and sauté, then add 2.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and 1 tbsp honey. Reduce until the sauce becomes thick, then transfer to a bowl.
- Before cooking, pat the meat dry thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess blood, and season with salt.
- For a thin pan, set the heat to medium to prevent burning, and add a generous amount of cooking oil to pan-fry the steak, almost like shallow-frying the surface.
- When one side is crispy and golden, flip the steak and add garnish vegetables like kabocha squash, asparagus, and mushrooms, along with bacon and rosemary, cooking them together.
- When the steak is cooked to medium doneness, turn off the heat and let it rest briefly in the pan or on a cutting board to allow the juices and fat to redistribute evenly.
- Place the steak on a plate and finish with the prepared tomato Worcestershire sauce and a bit of prepared mustard alongside.
- Sauté chopped onion and cherry tomatoes over high heat, then add Worcestershire sauce and honey, reducing to make the sauce.
- After patting dry the beef, cook it in plenty of oil over medium heat to sear the surface like shallow-frying, and cook the vegetables and bacon together.
- Let the cooked steak rest briefly, then plate with the tomato sauce and prepared mustard.
Cooking tips 💡
- When using a thin home frying pan over high heat, the exterior burns while the inside remains raw, so cook over medium heat with a generous amount of oil.
- Well-marbled meat should be cooked to at least medium doneness so the fat melts sufficiently, allowing you to fully enjoy its rich flavor.
- The resting process after turning off the heat allows the internal heat to distribute evenly, making the meat much more tender.
