Ingredients
For Chaliapin Steak
- 270 grams steak
- 350 grams onion finely diced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ⅓ cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons butter cultured, unsalted
To serve
- 2 ervings short grain rice 2 rice cooker cups cooked in rice cooker, Japanese
- 70 grams umeboshi (10% sodium, pitted and minced)
- scallions (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Cut slits ⅓ of the way into the steak ¼-inch apart. Flip the steak over and repeat, holding the knife at the same angle.
- Mix the onions and salt and surround the steak in onions. Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight.
- When the steak is done marinating, brush off all of the onions from the meat and set the onions aside. Season both sides of the steak with black pepper.
- Preheat a frying pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the vegetable oil, and then add the steak.
- Fry on one side until nicely browned, and then flip and fry the other side.
- When the steak is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a plate and let it rest while you prepare the onions.
- Turn down the heat and add the onions. Stir-fry these until they've started to brown around the edges, but they still hold their shape (about 6 minutes).
- Add the soy sauce and continue stir-frying until the liquid has evaporated and the soy sauce starts to smell toasty.
- Add the red wine and boil until it no longer smells like alcohol.
- To finish the sauce, add the butter and vigorously whisk it in to thicken the sauce.
- For the rice, fold the minced umeboshi into the hot rice until evenly distributed.
- Fill two bowls with the ume rice, and then top with the sliced steak. Finish each bowl with a mound of onions, and garnish with some chopped scallions.
