This steak, made from catoblepas brisket, gives the eater unlimited sprinting capabilities. Fitting, considering Noct and Prompto’s close call with the creature!
Active cooking time: 30-40 mins. Total cooking time: 30-40 mins. Serves 1-2
Ingredients
1 steak (New York strip steak is a good one!)
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into fry-shaped strips 1 tbsp ginger, peeled and minced (16mL)
cooking oil
salt and pepper
½ tbsp butter (7.5g)
baby arugula/watercress/any delicate salad green
Take the steak out of the fridge roughly 20 minutes before cooking. During that time, you can prep the potato and ginger, and start heating the pan to medium-high heat.
When pan is heated, add enough oil to coat the pan.
Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Put it carefully into the pan and sear one side, then turn the steak and sear the other side.
If there is a strip of fat on one side of the steak, use your spatula to hold the steak up vertically against one side of the pan, standing up on the fat side, and render off some fat.
Add butter to the pan, and the diced ginger. Continue to turn the steak regularly so that it cooks evenly from both sides, and continually baste it with the ginger-infused butter. This just means, take a spoon, tilt your pan so the butter runs to one side, and spoon it up over the top of the steak.
Cook until your preferred doneness, then set the steak aside to rest so that the juices in the steak can settle. (Optional) remove ginger chunks if you don’t like to eat ginger.
Add the sweet potatoes to the pan, and cook them in the ginger butter. Salt if desired. Sauté for a few minutes or until your preferred doneness: at least soft enough to be pierced by a fork, but you can further caramelize and brown them.
Serve with plain salad greens; the juices from the steak and potato’s butter residue will make enough of a “dressing.”
