Flat iron steak with lemon myrtle salt & Davidson plum sauce

PREP COOK TIME 45 MINUTES

SERVES 4

1 To make mash, boil potatoes until soft; drain. Place milk and butter in same pan; bring to a simmer. Return potatoes to pan and mash; season to taste. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

2 To make Davidson plum sauce, place stock, shallot and peppercorns in a small saucepan; boil over medium heat until stock is reduced by half. Whisk in jam and butter until smooth; strain into a jug and season to taste.

3 Meanwhile, preheat a barbecue to medium heat.

4 Season steak with a little of the smoked salt. Sear steak for 3 minutes each side or until char marks appear. Move the steak off to the side of the barbecue and continue to cook using indirect heat for a further 8 minutes for medium rare or until it reaches an internal temperature of 55°C on a meat thermometer. Combine remaining salt and lemon myrtle. Transfer steak to an oven tray; sprinkle both sides generously with lemon myrtle salt, then set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

5 Meanwhile, boil, steam or microwave broccolini until tender; drain.

6 Carve steak into thick slices; serve with mash and broccolini, drizzled with plum sauce.

from the Test Kitchen

Flat iron steak, from the shoulder of the beef, is a terrific cut that ranks up there for tenderness with tenderloin. Dried lemon myrtle is available from spice shops and selected delicatessens..
