Main

Jukes 6, the Dark Red

The deep, spicy profile of Jukes 6 enhances the rich, mellow flavours of the beef.

Ingredients 

  • Jukes 6
  • Chilled still water

Method 

Fill a wine glass half chilled water. Pour in half a bottle of Jukes and swirl. Adjust to taste.

Tagliata di Manzo

Ingredients (serves four)

  • 1kg of finely-marbled, top-quality steak (sirloin or flat iron work best)
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 100g rocket 
  • 120g shaved parmesan
  • A few sprigs of rosemary 
  • 100g ripe cherry tomatoes (option)
  • Cracked black pepper and sea salt
  • Ciabatta

Method 

Take the steak out of the fridge an hour before cooking. Pat dry on both sides, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season liberally with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Heat a cast iron griddle or heavy frying pan until it is smoking hot and cook the steak for three minutes on each side for a rare steak, or four minutes for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for ten minutes before slicing into 5mm thick slices. Arrange over the rocket on a large platter. Pour over any meat juices and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle over the shaved parmesan, scattering roughly chopped rosemary leaves and halved cherry tomatoes. Serve with warm, crusty ciabatta.
