Plankstek

The fancy Swedish dish!

This recipe is based on the last time I did this, which was for 3 people. Scale accordingly!

instructions

• Boil the potatoes until falling apart.
• Mash the potatoes with egg yolks. Add butter, cream, salt and pepper to taste.
• Let the mash cool and turn the oven on to 250 degrees celsius.
• Roll bunches of four asparagus with two strips of bacon.
• Cook the bacon around the asparagus in a pan.
• Cut the tomatoes in halves in a fancy jagged style. Put 1-2 halves on each plank.
• Spritz the now cooled mash on the plank. Whatever style suits you.
• Take the steaks and put plenty of sea salt and pepper on both sides.
• Take a cast iron pan and put it on the stove. Get a good amount of oil on the pan and max heat until the oil is smoking.
