@harka_cooks: Steak and Bread 🥩🥖 Juicy steak, sweet caramelised onions, toasted homemade ciabatta, and a spicy, tangy sauce—every bite is packed with flavour. Homemade Ciabatta * 320g warm water * 400g bread flour * 7g instant yeast * 1 tsp sugar * 20g salt * 10g extra virgin olive oil 1. Stir together the warm water, yeast, sugar, and olive oil. Leave for about 10 minutes until foamy. 2. Combine the flour and salt, then pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a rough dough forms. Cover and rest for 15 minutes. 3. Complete 3 sets of stretch-and-folds, resting 30 minutes between each round. 4. Refrigerate overnight for the best flavour, or proof at room temperature for 1–2 hours. 5. Divide into two rolls, lightly dust with flour, and bake at 220°C conventional (or 200°C fan-forced) for 20–25 minutes until deeply golden. Balsamic Onions * 2–3 brown onions, sliced * Oil * Butter * Garlic * Fresh thyme * Salt * ¼ cup balsamic vinegar Cook the onions slowly with the butter, oil, garlic, thyme, and a pinch of salt until soft. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and continue cooking until thick, glossy, and beautifully caramelised. Chilli Pickle Sauce * 1 cup Kewpie mayonnaise * 2 tbsp chilli crisp * Finely diced gherkins * 1 tbsp pickle juice * 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce * Salt & pepper Mix everything together until smooth and well combined. Steak 1. Season just before cooking, or dry-brine overnight on a wire rack for an even deeper flavour and crust. 2. Sear over high heat for around 3–4 minutes per side, flipping every minute for an even cook. 3. Reduce the heat and baste with butter, garlic, and thyme until the steak is about 5°C below your desired doneness. 4. Rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Toast the ciabatta, spread on the chilli sauce, pile on the steak and balsamic onions, then serve immediately. #beef #steak #bread #baking #homecooking
