Steak Tagliata


Steak Tagliata


I had some leftover frozen flank steak I needed to get rid of, and this recipe appeared to be a good way to do so. I'm usually not a fan of doing anything to steak beyond adding salt to it, but I suspected the quality of the flank would have been diminished after months in the freezer. I was right on both accounts. This was a delightful way to serve some not-optimal steak. Indeed, this is a very simple and elegant dish that shouts for being served to guests.

I used flank because that's what I had at home, but any steak should work.

Traditionally the steak would be grilled rather than cooked on a pan. If you grill it, you might want to make the oil and then brush it on the steak before grilling it.
