Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- beef for steak 250g
- potato 1 piece
- onion 1/4 piece
- butter 1 tablespoon
- heavy cream 1 cup
- water a little
- salt a little
- pepper a little
- shallot 2 pieces
- mushroom适量
- truffle oil 1 teaspoon
- parsley a little
Recipe 🍳
- Slice the potato and onion thinly, then sauté them in a pan with butter, being careful not to let them brown too much.
- Add heavy cream to the sautéed vegetables and simmer until the potato is fully cooked, then transfer to a blender and blend until smooth and fine.
- Strain the blended potato cream through a fine sieve, then transfer to a whipping machine and charge with nitrogen gas to create a light, airy potato foam (espuma). (If you don’t have a whipping machine, you can substitute with a smooth mashed potato texture.)
- Heat the pan until it starts to smoke, then place the seasoned beef on it and sear the exterior until crispy.
- Once the outside is cooked, reduce the heat and continue cooking to your desired doneness, then let the steak rest.
- Use the same pan to sauté sliced shallots and mushrooms to make the garnish. Plate the steak with the garnish, drizzle with truffle oil, and generously pipe the potato espuma on top to finish.
- Sauté thinly sliced potato and onion in butter, then add heavy cream and simmer until cooked through. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture, transfer to a whipping machine, and charge with gas to create a light potato foam.
- Sear the steak in a hot pan, then use the same pan to sauté vegetables for the garnish. Serve the steak with the garnish, top with potato foam and truffle oil.
Cooking tips 💡
- When grilling the steak, make sure the pan is thoroughly heated until smoke appears before adding the meat—this ensures the juices are locked in and the exterior becomes crispy.
- If the potato espuma mixture is too thick, the blender may not work properly or the whipper won’t dispense well; gradually add a bit more water or cream to maintain a smooth consistency.
