This dish is prepared using a tri-tip steak cut from the steer's thigh muscle. While this cut isn't considered a premium one, it's no less delicious and tender, with a rich flavor. A tri-tip steak achieves its ideal texture when cooked medium. Rub the steak with chipotle peppers, which impart a light, subtle smoky flavor, sear it in a pan, and then finish cooking in the oven, measuring the temperature with a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Serve the steak with braised collard greens and a delicious honey-mustard sauce.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

    Combine chipotle peppers, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; rub the mixture over the steak. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then add the steak; sear for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the side of the steak reads 135°F (57°C) for medium, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and 1/2 cup of water and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.

  3. In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, remaining 3 tablespoons vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and 1/2 cup water. Return the cast iron skillet to medium-high heat, add the ketchup mixture, and cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Slice the steak across the grain. Serve with the sauce and cabbage.
