Food and how it is made has always fascinated me. Through making my own food with local and seasonal ingredients I take ownership of what I eat and my health benefits from the food and the time I take to make it. In times where people are more and more losing connection to what they eat it feels good to spend time to carefully select ingredients and turn them into a wholesome and tasty meal. This steak sandwich is full of rich and nutritious well cared for seasonal produce. Almost all ingredients are from the @la_farms deli who are well known for their grass fed wagyu beef but their biodiverse farm has so much more to offer including my favourite stoneground wheat flour.
Ciabatta (2 long buns)
Ingredients
300g LA Farms stoneground wheat flour
260g water
90g sourdough starter (or 2-3 grams of active dry yeast)
6g salt
Mix all ingredients and let sit for 30min. For 3h fold the dough every 30-60min until it is stable and bubbly. Put in the fridge overnight. Take out of the fridge and put on a bed of semolina or flour, fold the sides in and cut into two pieces. Rest them on a kitchen linen dusted with rice flour for 1-2h. Meanwhile preheat the oven to max. temperature and prep the toppings. When the oven is preheated bake the ciabattas at max. temperature for 15min. It helps to bake them on a stone or steel and add steam, but it’ll also work without, just make sure to put the rack in the middle as a normal pan will get too hot and burn them if it sits on the bottom.
I’ll give you the toppings and I’m sure you’ll get them all prepped without explanations. ☺️
Butter (mixed with salt flakes, chili salt and honey)
Raspberry compote & mustard
Wagyu steak
Fried sage, fresh herbs like basil/oregano
Nectarine
Fior di latte
Horseradish
Pink peppercorn
Salt & Pepper

On our farm this Autumn, we appreciate the rain that fills the soil 🍂
We are excited for the new heirloom seeds building their roots, feeding its microorganisms and working in all its magnificent symbiotic ways. The new season will build the soil up from the bottom up and strengthen us through its nutritious produce.
The animals are preparing themselves for a swift change in their environment and building their systems with this special microbiome on the West Coast, leaving us with our delicious flavor profiles.
Experiencing the farm in its full glory as it prepares for Autumn gives us a feeling of new appreciation and protection over this magnificent land.

HAPPY EARTH DAY 🌍
At L.A. FARMS, we strive to treat the Earth in ways that give back to her, rather than taking more than we already have. We rebuild the soil through regenerative farming practices and increase biodiversity with our bees, free-roaming chickens, ducks, lambs, and cattle.
Our journey toward grass-fed and free-range methods is intentional, designed to preserve the land for future generations. Through these practices, we work with nature instead of against it, creating a truly circular ecosystem.
Let’s always remember to honor and protect our Mother Earth, leaving the land in a better place than we found it 🌱
