THE RECIPE IN VIDEO

INGREDIENTS

• 1 nice rib of beef, preferably bought from the butcher
• 30g softened butter
• 5g of fleur de sel
• 1g crushed green pepper
• A small bunch of chives

PREPARATION

• About 1 hour before, light your Maximus oven . Since you're cooking the rib of beef directly on the stone, it's important to light the wood-fired oven well in advance and get it up to over 400°C. To do this, load one side with kindling underneath and larger pieces on top, so the fire starts quickly and strongly.
• Chop the chives into the soft butter.
• Season the beef rib on both sides with salt and pepper. Chef's tip: never salt your meat in advance to avoid bleeding. This will result in more tender meat.
• Place directly on the oven floor. Make sure the flames aren't too strong or the embers are very hot for cooking. Chef's tip: Use tongs or a spatula to handle your meat. Again, be careful not to prick it to prevent bleeding.
• Cook for approximately 3 minutes for “blue”, 4 minutes for “rare” or 5 minutes for “medium”.
• Turn over and cook for another 24 hours. Chef's tip: adjust the cooking time to the thickness of your meat.
• Remove the meat from the oven, then place your chive butter on top to let it melt gently.
• Your meat is ready to share. For a more indulgent experience, serve it with a handful of fries or a gratin dauphinois. You can also enjoy it with a vegetable tian or Provençal tomatoes for a slightly lighter meal, or even a delicious vegetable tian cooked in a wood-fired oven .
