Southern-style flat-iron with potato and corn hash and baby cos with buttermilk dressing

Ingredients

  • 6 flat-iron steaks
  • 2 baby cos lettuces
  • To serve: hot sauce
Potato and corn hash
  • 6 golden shallots, diced
  • 2 tbsp dripping, lard or olive oil
  • 4 royal blue potatoes (about 600gm), finely diced or coarsely grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 corn cobs, kernels removed
  • 125 ml chicken stock (½ cup)
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Buttermilk dressing
  • 200 ml buttermilk

  • 1 bunch chives, finely chopped

Method

Main
  • 1
    For buttermilk dressing, combine ingredients, season to taste and refrigerate until required. (This dressing tastes better the next day, but just a good chilling of 2-3 hours will be enough.)
  • 2
    For potato and corn hash, cook shallots in dripping in a saucepan over medium heat (you can do this on the barbecue) until golden, tender and starting to caramelise (10-15 minutes), then add potatoes and garlic and stir occasionally until potatoes are tender (10-15 minutes). Add corn and chicken stock and stir until stock has evaporated and corn is tender (2-3 minutes), then season to taste and set aside.
  • 3
    Barbecue steaks over medium to medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until cooked to your liking (3-4 minutes each side for medium-rare). Set aside to rest (5 minutes).
  • 4
    Tear cos into a bowl, drizzle with buttermilk dressing and serve with steak and potato hash.
