View ProfileOne of Balaboosta's signature dishes, this special showcases how Chef Einat excels at balancing flavors and textures. Smoky adobo-rubbed flat iron steak is grilled until tender and perfectly done, then sliced and serve on a bed of silky-smooth, luscious leek purée. To pair, Chef adds her Mashwi salad, a Middle Eastern side dish, featuring char-grilled vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and eggplant, all diced and seasoned with fresh lemon juice, parsley and a hint of salt. Finally, to add richness, enjoy roasted fingerling potatoes seasoned with good quality olive oil and earthy za'atar seasoning. You've never tasted steak and potatoes quite like this!
