chopped shallots, tomatoes, garlic tossed in oil and smoked for an hour. Then cover with oil and cook at 300 for a few hours. 

Hanger steak, seasoned with a little salt and pepper. Cooked SV at 132 with a bit of the oil from the confit. Lost a bit to the kids, who want to start grilling:



Steak on:


While the steak is resting, sliced ciabatta is grilled with a brush of the oil from the confit. 

Hanger steak is sliced and served with the shallot/tomato confit, grilled bread, and a simple arugula salad. (Dressing is olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper, Parmesan). Served with a Chardonnay. 



Cheers,

    Nice job! Everything looks great...especially the shallot/tomato confit. That's right up my alley.

    thanks!  that confit is a keeper.  i'm pretty certain the original recipe was out of the Gjelina cookbook.  i've done it a few more times since posting.  i've used the confit on fish, and i've used the oil in salad dressing.  the confit is also really good as a bruschetta topping.

    happy friday folks!

    Killer plate. Hanger is my favorite, and the veg + chiabatta is a great.

    Missed this last year. If I hadn’t, I would have made that tomato confit by now. 

    Mighty fine meal, sir.

    @bobdanger my understanding of confit is "low and slow cooking submerged in oil."  take a bunch of anything good, cover it in a fat, and cook for a long time, and it turns out delicious. if it's all submerged in the fat, you can let it cool and it's preserved, as well.

    @dmchicago @20stone to hell with you both :)

    @caliking one more technique to play with.  you'd like the Gjelina cookbook.  i've got a copy with your name on it.

    @bgebrent just trying to keep up with you and all your crazy cooks!

    I appreciate the offer @blind99. But I would first have to figure out who/what Gjelina is. I don’t get out much :)
