Steak Strindberg

My Kitchen

Today I’m introducing to you our favourite steak dish. A “Steak Strindberg” is a beef steak with a savoury crust of mustard and onions.

Harry got to know this dish many years ago at the cinema restaurant “Windlicht” on the island of Langeoog.

They still have it on their menu today. So, when on a day trip to Langeoog, Harry still likes to stop off at the “Windlicht” to enjoy a “Steak Strindberg” for lunch.

At the “Windlicht”, a rump steak is used to prepare a “Steak Strindberg”. As side dish, Harry usually prefers roasted potatoes.

Today, however, we have opted for a delicious rib-eye steak with steak fries as side dish.

The individual steps are actually quite simple, but you might need a tad of sensitivity and possibly some practice when it comes to frying the side with the crust.

What we need:

  • 1 rib-eye steak (or rump steak)
  • 1 large onion cut into tiny pieces
  • 2 eggs
  • salt
  • pepper
  • mustard
  • flour
  • clarified butter
  • steakhouse fries (or roasted potatoes, fries, baked potato, etc.)

How to do it:

  • Cut a grid pattern into the plated meat, season both sides of the meat with salt and pepper.
  • Coat the meat generously with mustard, spread the onion pieces on top of it, press them well into the mustard layer.
  • Flour the mustard-onion-layer.
  • Have the meat and the eggs cracked and mixed ready while heating a good knob of clarified butter in the pan.
  • When the clarified butter is sufficiently hot, dip meat with its coated side down well into the egg…
  • …then immediately put it into the hot pan with the coated side facing down. Sear for three minutes at maximum heat.
  • Turn the meat very carefully and fry it at medium heat for another three to five minutes, depending on how you like your steak.
  • If your fries are not yet done, keep your steak warm in the oven at low heat before serving.
  • Enjoy your delicious “Steak Strindberg”.
