Jonathan Grill has become the place for a great barbecue and grill experience among restaurants in Trondheim. With popular Japanese table grills, Jonathan introduced a new way to grill and serve food to guests in Norway with Korean style bbq using Norwegian produce and ingredients.
Head chef Odd Ivar Jørgensen use a dry aging cabinet in Jonathan to dry age their own meat from Røros and wants to show you one of his favourite sauces to accompany an entrecôte. Perfect for your Friday night taco together with homemade potato wrap if you want to try something new. Here's the recipe:
Jonathan Grill's Salsa Macha
- 100g almond
- 150g pumpkin seeds
- 100g of sesame seeds
- 50g of garlic
- 100g ancho without seed
- 35g chipotle without seeds
- 1 liter of olive oil
- 50g of sugar
- dried oregano
- lime juice
- salt
Toast chili, almonds, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds. Add garlic and olive oil. Heat and let it simmer for approx. 30 minutes. Cool at room temperature and mix it in a blender. Season with sugar, oregano, lime juice and salt.
Potato wrap
- 500g almond potato or other floury potatoes
- 85g butter
- 150g of cream
- 250g flour
- salt
Boil the potato until it is tender and strain the water. Heat cream and butter. Put it back on the stove and let it steam until dry. Press through a potato press or strainer. Add the cream and butter. Stir in flour and adjust with more if the dough is too soft. Season with salt. Weigh the dough into 40g large balls. Roll or press in a tortilla press between two sheets of greased baking paper. Fry in dry pan until golden.
Entrecôte
- 250g dry aged entrecôte from Røros
- salt and pepper
Choose a piece of meat that is well marbled. We have chosen a dry-aged entrecôte from Røros. Season the meat with salt and pepper and grill it on both sides in a dry pan. Move it slightly around the pan and let it simmer in its own fat.
After you have achieved the degree of cooking that you prefer, let the meat rest for 4 minutes before cutting it into thin slices. Place the meat in your homemade potato wrap, top with salsa macha and some fresh lettuce. Good luck!
