Ingredients

  • 400 g Jerusalem artichoke
  • 200 g waxy potatoes
  • Salt
  • 4 steaks (about 160 g each)
  • black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 onions
  • a splash of dry red wine
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 125 ml heavy cream (at least 30% fat)
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped basil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • nutmeg

Instructions

  1. 1.

    For the puree, peel and roughly cube the Jerusalem artichoke and potatoes; simmer in salted water for about 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 100 °C with both top and bottom heating.

  2. 2.

    Wash the steaks, pat dry, season with salt and pepper, then sear briefly on each side in 2 tbsp hot oil. Finish cooking in the oven on a rack (under a fat pan) for 6–10 minutes.

  3. 3.

    Peel and halve the onions; slice into strips and brown them in the remaining oil over the drippings. Deglaze with red wine, add a splash of water, then season with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drain the vegetables and let evaporate.

  4. 4.

    Blend the hot cream, basil, and butter into a smooth puree. Season with salt and nutmeg. Serve the steaks atop the onions with the celery‑potato puree.
