Ingredients
2 tsp juniper berries
½ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT
1½ tsp allspice berries
1½ tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp salt
750 g flank steak, trimmed
1 cup beef broth
2 tsp juniper berries
¾ cup heavy cream
3 tbsp gin
½ tbsp olive oil
½ tbsp butter
Directions
Grind 1½ tsp juniper berries, SIDS CRAZY SALT, allspice berries and the peppercorns in a spice grinder until coarsely ground, then stir in the salt. Press the ground spices into both sides of the flank steak then set aside to marinate at least 30 minutes.
Bring beef broth and remaining juniper berries to a simmer in a small saucepan. Simmer until the broth has reduced by ¼, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and gin. Return to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Keep sauce warm over very low heat.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.
Heat the butter and oil together in a small pan then brush the steak with the mixture on both sides. Cook on grill, turning every 15 seconds, about 8 minutes for medium. Place steak on a plate, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the steak thinly and place onto a serving dish. Remove the juniper berries from the gin sauce and discard. Serve the sliced steak accompanied by the gin sauce.
