Black Garlic Skirt Steak* Recipe

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the Steak

   In a bowl, combine black garlic, koji, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Prepare the Skirt Steak

   Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.

3. 3

   Prepare the Vegetables

   While the steak is marinating, prepare the romanesco cauliflower by cutting it into florets. Slice the cipollini onions and shishito peppers.

4. 4

   Cook the Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cipollini onions and cook until caramelized. Add the romanesco florets and shishito peppers and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Cook the Steak

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

6. 6

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a small saucepan, combine the gooseberries and balsamic vinegar. Cook over medium heat until the gooseberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice the skirt steak against the grain. Arrange the sautéed vegetables on a platter, top with sliced steak, and drizzle with the gooseberry sauce.
