Griddled Sirloin of Asturian Beef with Potato Purée and Char-grilled Peppers

Preparation

For the potato purée
Cook the potatoes in water with a pinch of salt, 10 gr / 1/3 oz black pepper, a bay leaf and a splash of virgin olive oil. When cooked, drain and blend in the Thermomix with the milk and beat with extra virgin olive oil. Season and set aside.

For the char-grilled peppers
Rub the peppers with oil and a little salt and grill over red-hot coals until brown on the outside but the flesh is still firm (15 to 18 minutes). Peel and cut into strips. Sauté the garlic and parsley and add.
Cut the sirloin of beef into slices about 6 cm thick. Place over the coals and sear on both sides. Add plenty of sea salt. (The advantage of sea salt is that the meat absorbs just as much salt as it needs). Brush off any extra salt. Slice thinly and place briefly under a grill.

Serve with a classic red wine, one in which the wood envelops the primary flavors of spicy fruit, such as Púntido 2001, a jewel made by Marcos Eguren. I consider it a real find.
