Best steak in the world?

On Atria's online meat shop, under the title " Atria's Premium beef - tenderness guaranteed" one can read: "This steak made from Atria's entrecote was awarded as the best steak in the world at the prestigious World Steak Challenge in Dublin on July 10, 2019. The competition jury judged that the taste and fat composition of the winning steak was near to perfection...". So we bought 1.5kg of it, as one can't buy less than that amount. But it's no big deal as we use a vacuum sealer machine. Our "fragile" food (meat, fishes, mushrooms, berries, aspargus, and all kind of spring veggies) is safely preserved in vacuumed sealed bags in the freezer.

Half a kilo of Hereford beef put on the grill. The entrecote is roughly 4cm thick, generously sprinkled with black pepper and sea salt, and is about to be cooked for 4min. each side for medium/rare.

The beef is served with oven baked root vegetables (carrots, swedes, turnips, parsnips & onions) cooked in a mixture of olive oil, organic honey, Pimentón de la Vera powder, dry garlic powder, chili flakes, black pepper & salt. This beef is probably not the best in the world, but is very tasty & very tender. For superior beef, see "Bosgård" or "The 3 Butchers", were you can find organic dry aged beef or Spain's Txogixtu beef (very rare, they don't have that very often - see post Jan. 11.2020 tag: beef), which for us is truly the best in the world.

A bottle of Hacienda Monasterio Reserva Especial 2013 is the perfect match.
