Corona Marinated Fullblood Wagyu Bavette Steak With Grilled Watermelon Recipes

TAMARIND-MARINATED BAVETTE STEAK

Steps:

• Put the tamarind paste, soy and hot water into the smallest saucepan you have, and stir over a low heat to dissolve the tamarind. When it's as smooth as you think you can get it--the tamarind paste I use says it's without pits, but I do find the odd one, and I don't bother to get rid of them--remove to a bowl or jug, whisk in the oil and honey, and leave to cool. Do not use until it is cold.
• Put the bavette steak into a resealable freezer bag, pour in the cold marinade and squelch it about so that the thin steak is covered on both sides, then seal, lay on a plate and put in the fridge overnight or for 1 day.
• Bring it back to room temperature, prepare a large piece of kitchen foil, then heat a ridged griddle till very, very hot. Lift the steak out of its marinade, letting any excess (and there will be a lot) drip back into the bag and then slap the meat on the griddle and cook for 2 minutes a side.
• Immediately (I use tongs for all this) transfer the steak to the piece of foil and make a tightly sealed but baggy parcel, and let the meat rest, on a chopping board, or any surface that is not too cold, for 5 minutes. Then unwrap the foil, transfer the steak to a board, and carve in thin slices against the grain.

CORONA MARINATED FULLBLOOD WAGYU BAVETTE STEAK WITH GRILLED WATERMELON

Steps:

• PREPARING THE MARINATED FULLBLOOD WAGYU BAVETTE STEAK:Trim off any excess fat from the Fullblood Wagyu bavette steak, and place the steak in a large container. In a bowl, combine the Corona beer, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Add the zest and juice from three limes (save one lime for later use) to the bowl. Mix all ingredients to combine. Pour the marinade (from the bowl) over the bavette steak.
• PREPARING THE WATERMELON:Clean the watermelon, and cut it into large planks. Season the watermelon with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Add the zest and juice of one lime, coating all sides of the watermelon planks.
• COOKING THE FULLBLOOD WAGYU BAVETTE STEAK:Place the marinated bavette steak on a preheated grill at 400°F degrees. Cook for 10-12 minutes per side or until an internal temperature of at least 120°F degrees is reached. Remove the steak from the grill, and allow the meat to rest.
• FINAL STEPS:While the grilled Fullblood Wagyu bavette steak is resting, place the watermelon on the grill. Cook the watermelon for 5 minutes per side. Remove it from the grill, and cut it into cubes. Slice the grilled bavette steak thinly against the grain. Serve the slices of Fullblood Wagyu bavette steak with the grilled watermelon, lime, and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
