“I have been using Mayura Station meat for about eight years, and the consistent quality is remarkable across all cuts. Most recently, we served a flat-iron steak taken from the oyster blade off the forequarter. This is an amazing cut, tender as fillet steak but with a depth of flavour and unctuousness thanks to the marbling and muscle development you just can’t find on regular beef. As for how we cooked it and what we served as an accompaniment, we kept it very simple: grilled with tarragon and miso butter, some grilled lettuce, Jerusalem artichoke chips and a little roasted onion puree.” – Mark McNamara. Recipe by Mark McNamara.

3/4 bunch tarragon, chopped
1/2 cup (125ml) extra virgin olive oil
3 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp white (shiro) miso paste
150g unsalted butter, softened
2 leeks (white part only) washed, thinly sliced
2/3 cup (165ml) thickened cream
2 baby cos lettuce, outer leaves reserved, heart halved lengthways
4 x 200g wagyu oyster blade steaks Vegetable chips, to serve

Method

1.

To make the tarragon butter, place tarragon, 1/3 cup (80ml) oil, mustard and miso paste in a blender and whiz until tarragon is finely chopped. Add butter and whiz until well combined.
2.

To make the leek puree, melt one-third tarragon butter in a frypan over low heat. Add leek and 2 tbs water, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until leek is very soft and without colour. Add cream and bring to a simmer, then transfer to a blender and whiz until smooth.
3.

Heat a chargrill pan or barbecue to high heat. Grill lettuce hearts, cut-side down, for 1 minute or until lightly charred. Transfer to a plate and top each with a little tarragon butter.
4.

Rub steaks in remaining 2 tbs oil, place on grill, reduce heat to medium-high and grill for 3 minutes 30 seconds each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, top with some tarragon butter and stand for 10 minutes to rest.
5.

Spread leek puree on serving plates and top with lettuce leaves, lettuce hearts and steak. Serve with vegetable chips.
