200g Flap Meat
Olive oil
1/2 onion
2 shiitake mushrooms
3/4 cup of rice
1 tablespoon of butter
1.5 tablespoons of chicken stock
3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
650ml of water
2 tablespoons of basil powder
Thyme
Salt
Pepper
Heat a pan with olive oil and cook the Flap Meat until it's medium-rare.
Season the Flap Meat with salt and pepper. Once the Flap Meat is cooked, transfer it to a plate and let it rest.
In the same pan with the beef drippings, toast the rice for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Add onions and shiitake mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until the onions become translucent. Stir in butter and continue to sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are fully translucent.
Add 650ml of water, chicken stock, and basil powder to the pan. Bring to a simmer.
Once the rice is fully cooked, stir in the Parmesan cheese. If it becomes too thick, you can add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
Plate the finished risotto and top it with the Flap Meat. Garnish with thyme.
