Roasted Entrecôte with Avocado Mayonnaise and Roasted Hokkaido

Saturday, April 11, 2020 Add Comment Edit

Entrecôte, also known as Rib Eye steak, is tender and marbled and perfect for frying or grilling.
Because of the higher content of fat in the meat, entrecôte has to be handled a little differently from other cuts of beef. If you like your beef rare, this particular cut might not be right choice because undercooking means you will probably end up chewing chunks of luke warm and un-cooked fat. Instead, aim for medium-rare or even medium. This will give the fat time to melt and to infuse all that tasty meat with even more flavours.

Besides salting the steak generously, you can also use any spices and herbs that you love, but freshly milled black pepper is probably all you need.
