Where to find ingredients
You can find flank steak at local butcher shops or the fresh meat section of supermarkets. For the best flavor, use a standard lager beer. If unavailable, a mild ale can serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Trim the flank steak and season the entire piece of meat with salt.
- Heat the oil in a pan and add the rosemary sprig to infuse the flavor.
- Place the meat in the pan and sear all sides until they are well browned.
- Add the garlic, onion, and thyme to the pan.
- Sauté the vegetables for about 3 minutes.
- Pour the beer and tomato paste over the meat.
- Maintain a low heat for 30 minutes.
- Check the liquid level and add hot water little by little if necessary to keep it cooking.
- Remove the meat from the pan and keep it warm.
- Strain the remaining sauce from the pan.
- Bring the sauce to high heat to reduce until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Slice the meat, arrange it on a platter, and drizzle with the reduced sauce before serving.
Observations
This recipe elevates simple beef cuts into a sophisticated dish. The secret lies in searing the meat thoroughly before starting the slow-cook process with the sauce.
