Recipe: Beef Steak with Mustard and Rosemary

The recipe that made my weekend easier. A spicy, aromatic steak that I paired with a spicy mash (with horseradish) and a sweet roasted beetroot salad.

A few places where I buy beef:

Cora: their own good cuts of Romanian beef; the advantage is the very good price; the disadvantage is that you won't always find the cut you want, you need patience and frequent visits
Carrefour: from the Gurmand Apetit range, aged beef; good cuts in small portions (1-2 steaks/tray); prices slightly higher than Cora; the advantage is it's almost always available
Metro: very good meat, perhaps the best, imported from Argentina, Brazil; disadvantage: it's expensive and sold only in large pieces

Ingredients

2 beef steaks (approx. 2-2.5cm thick; I used aged New York steak this time, but I've also used the marinade on bavette steak)
black pepper, chili flakes

Marinade

1 level tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 crushed garlic clove
1 small sprig rosemary (leaves chopped)

Servings: 1-2

Mix the marinade ingredients and massage the steaks well with it. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
Remove the steaks, drain the excess marinade and place on a plate to come to room temperature (about 15-20 minutes). Season with freshly ground black pepper and chili flakes.
Heat a grill pan (without fat) over maximum heat for 5 minutes.
Place the steaks in the pan, turn heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side (for medium). Then hold with tongs and sear the edges on the grill (about 15 seconds).
Place the cooked steaks on a plate, sprinkle with rosemary leaves and place a small cube of butter on top of each piece. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve with mashed potatoes with horseradish and cubes of boiled/roasted beetroot.
