A Chef Recipe Featuring Noosa Black Garlic
Rich, deeply savoury and beautifully simple, this Onglet Steak with Black Garlic Butter & Silverbeet is a restaurant-quality dish that showcases the power of great ingredients.
Created by Michelin-starred chef Skye Gyngell and featured by Delicious Magazine Australia, this recipe pairs juicy hanger (onglet) steak with slow-cooked silverbeet and a luxurious black garlic butter.
The butter, made with Noosa Black Garlic Cloves, melts over the steak, adding sweet umami depth that enhances the natural richness of the beef. The slow-braised silverbeet provides a soft, earthy contrast, making this a beautifully balanced dish.

Method
1. Make the black garlic butter
Place the butter and Noosa Black Garlic Cloves into a food processor or mash thoroughly by hand until smooth and well combined.
Set aside.
2. Prepare the silverbeet
Separate the silverbeet stalks and leaves.

In a large pan, melt around 125 g of the black garlic butter over medium heat.
Add:

Stir to coat, then cover and reduce heat to low.
Cook slowly for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until tender and deeply flavoured. Season to taste.
4. Cook the steak
Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over high heat.
Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway, for medium-rare (adjust to preference).

Remove the steaks from the pan and spoon over a little of the black garlic butter.
Rest for 8 minutes, loosely covered with foil.

an extra spoon of black garlic butter
-
a scattering of micro herbs

Why Black Garlic Works with Steak
Noosa Black Garlic Cloves bring a natural sweetness and deep umami richness that enhances the flavour of beef without overpowering it.
When blended into butter, they create a silky, flavour-packed finish that melts into the steak, delivering a restaurant-quality result at home.
