About this dish

Chuck flap is so well marbled that coarse salt, pepper and a quick, hard sear are all it takes, and it stays juicy.

While the steak rests, asparagus goes into the same pan and picks up the beef fat and butter left behind.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Set 360 g beef chuck flap at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.

    Pat the top, bottom, and edges completely dry with paper towels so the surface browns quickly instead of steaming.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper evenly over both sides.

    Press the seasoning gently onto thicker spots with your fingertips so it adheres before the meat hits the hot pan.

  3. 3

    Heat the pan over high heat until it is very hot and just beginning to smoke.

    Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, swirl briefly, and lay in the beef right away before the oil burns.

  4. 4

    Sear the beef without moving it for 1 minute 30 seconds.

    When a deep brown crust forms, turn it over and sear the second side for the same time without pressing the meat.

  5. 5

    Hold the beef with tongs and briefly sear the edges, then lower the heat to medium-high.

    Add 10 g butter, 4 garlic cloves, and 1 rosemary sprig, keeping the aromatics in the hot butter.

  6. 6

    Spoon the melted butter over the beef for 1 more minute until the garlic and rosemary scent the crust.

    Rest the meat for 3 minutes, slice it, then grill 6 asparagus spears in the same pan for 1 minute and serve together.

Dry surface is key for a strong sear.
Proper resting reduces juice loss when slicing.
