I met Alexander years ago, when the Steak at Home butcher shop was opening. We held our first masterclass at a cooking studio in 2013. Inspired by a video from Kirill Martynenko, Sergey Morokov, the founder, and I called on experienced friends — enthusiasts, chefs and fellow romantics with a passion for meat. Together with our guests, we cooked some of our first steaks. A curious time. A time of discovery.
Now, 12 years later, barbecue culture has become much more widespread, and the phrase “I cooked a steak” sounds like “I brewed coffee.” The whole question is, what kind of steak is it?)
Alexander is now a regular at Zhazhda Krovi, which means a lot to me. More photos of a rare steak, with a little Lagavulin and sabayon to set the mood.
