SALT-PACKED COLD ROAST BEEF WITH BREAD-CRUMB SALSA
When you cook a large piece of meat or a whole fish in a thick crust of salt, the crust provides both gentle heat and even seasoning. For beef tenderloin, a relatively bland cut, salt-baking is easy and ensures a particularly tasty dish. Serving the perfectly plain, perfectly cooked beef alongside a riotous crunchy salad of fried croutons, tomatoes, lemon segments and scallions makes for a lively main course. This recipe - reproduced verbatim from "Prune," the first cookbook by the New York chef Gabrielle Hamilton - isn't like other recipes. (This makes sense, because Ms. Hamilton isn't like other chefs - self-taught, with a quirky menu that reflects her American childhood, French parentage and global palate.) It reflects the book, which is written more like a kitchen manual for Prune's sous chefs than a cookbook for a home kitchen. The recipe may seem long, but with her helpful detail and entertaining language, cooking becomes a pleasure.

Steps:
- Heat a large, heavy cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 5 whole minutes and make sure the hood is on. Rub the fillet with 1 tablespoon oil, then sprinkle and coat evenly with black pepper. Brown the meat thoroughly on every side and the cut ends so that you have formed a nice crust universally around the fillet, creating a barrier for the coming salt crust. (This takes 7 to 8 minutes to brown correctly.) Remove the meat from the pan and let cool on a wire rack set in a sheet pan to have a cool and mostly dry piece of meat.
- Mix the salt with the water to form what looks like bright white wet sand. Spread a thin but solid and even layer of salt on the bottom of a 1/4 sheet pan and set the roast on it, then pack the remaining moist salt tidily around the browned meat, forming a solid case resembling a cast on a broken leg. Where there are cracks, redistribute the salt and fix them. This should be a fun and unfussy task. If you need more salt or more water or less water and more salt, mix up whatever mortar you need to get the beef encased.
- Place the salt-crusted beef on its sheet pan into a 250-degree oven and let it cook for 45 minutes. If you weighed it properly at the outset, 45 minutes at 250 degrees is fail-safe. Otherwise, use an insta-read thermometer and go in through a cut end to the direct center, and pull it when it hits 125 degrees inside. Crack the salt crust, dust the granules of clinging salt off with a clean, dry side towel, and set to rest on a tray in your station. Don't refrigerate, but label properly the time and date for Health Department.
- In a small, deep-sided sauté pan, heat the 1 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be just deep enough to submerge the first tip of your index finger. Good olive oil is rarely recommended for frying, so don't ever do this when you go on to work in a real restaurant, but here at Prune, I really prefer the flavor it adds.
- When the oil makes its beautiful, veinous, streaking patterns in the pan, which will move faster as the oil gets hotter, drop in a test piece of crouton. When it sizzles on contact, the oil is ready. Fry the croutons until golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon, and drain in a stack of basket-style coffee filters. Set aside the frying oil to cool. Mix together the tomatoes, scallions, garlic, anchovies, lemon flesh and zest and juice, and the red wine vinegar and toss well.
- Toss in the fried bread croutons and dress with 1/3 cup of the now-cool olive oil left over from frying. Rough up the parsley leaves briefly in your hands just to release the grassy aroma and add to the salsa. Sparingly season with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the filet will bring its own seasoning to the plate.
- Slice the beef to order, keep portion at 6 ounces. Shingle meat. Drape a good big spoonful of salsa over meat, but let the perfect wall-to-wall pink of the fillet show - don't hide that beauty under carelessly placed salsa. Drizzle with some of the remaining fry oil to finish. Do not season further.

Steps:
- If you can, allow the pickled beef to come up to room temperature before you start by leaving it on the kitchen counter for an hour. It will speed up the cooking time. Put the beef in a large pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, skimming away any foamy scum that rises to the surface. Once the foam has been mostly removed, add all the other ingredients. Adding them now means they don't get in the way of the skimming.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 2 hrs 30 mins-3 hrs 30 mins or until a fork pushed into the meat slides in easily - it should be really soft. Start checking after 2 hours - there should be no resistance when you pull the fork out of the meat. You could also use a skewer to do the testing - make sure to push it into the thickest part of the meat.
- Once the beef is tender, turn off the heat. Either leave it sitting in the cooking liquor if you're not ready to eat (it can sit like this for up to an hour), or use two forks to lift the meat out, allow the water to drain off, then put it on a board. Keep the liquor if you plan to reheat or freeze the salt beef. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10-15 mins. To serve, slice thickly against the grain of the meat or it will crumble. Serve hot or cold.Leftovers will keep in the fridge for three days and in the freezer for up to six weeks. Before freezing, it's best to slice it and wrap first in baking parchment, then foil. Make sure you also freeze the pot of cooking liquor. When you want to eat it, defrost and then put it (with slices arranged back into a whole brisket shape) in an ovenproof dish with the thawed liquor. Cover with foil and reheat at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 20 mins.

- Preheat the oven to 250°F (121°C). Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Heat a large, heavy, cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat for 5 minutes. Yep, 5 minutes. Make certain the heat is on medium and no higher. Also make certain your hood fan is on.
- While the tenderloin is in the oven, place a small, deep-sided sauté pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be just deep enough to submerge the first tip of your index finger. Heat the oil. (Good olive oil is rarely recommended for frying. But the author really prefers the flavor it adds.) Have ready a stack of basket-style coffee filters or a brown paper bag next to the stovetop.
- Using a mallet or a wooden spoon, crack the salt crust on the tenderloin, dust away the granules of salt clinging to the beef with a clean, dry towel, and place the beef on a cutting board.
