preparation
➊ Remove the steak from the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking and season generously with salt. Prepare a direct and an indirect grilling area. Depending on the size, remove 8–16 leaves of savoy cabbage and blanch them in salted water for 2–3 minutes.
➋ Mix the parsley, walnuts, and tortilla chips with the cheese and sour cream, and season with salt and pepper. Add a small pinch of chili to taste. Arrange 1–2 blanched savoy cabbage leaves on each roll and add a generous dollop of the mixture. Wrap it into a tight roll. Secure it with kitchen string—but it will work without if you grill the rolls carefully and pay attention.
➌ Grill on the plancha over moderate heat until nicely browned. Sear the steak on both sides over direct heat. Once a nice crust has formed, place the meat in the indirect grilling zone and continue grilling at 80–100°C until the internal temperature reaches 54°C.
➍ Then remove from the grill, season generously with pepper, and let rest for at least 5 minutes, then slice into strips. For the sauce, slowly simmer the cranberries with the port and red wine. After 15 minutes, add the thyme and rosemary. Simmer for another 20–30 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.
