Long ago when the ages of the peace was vast and the young flower maidens of the Black Shroud could speak softly to and with elementals, there was a great delicacy used in celebrations of the last frost to the blossoming spring. So often than not at the time, the moogles from within the depths of the wild forest, would come to assist in the celebrations bearing charms that would delight and excite all who ingested these rarities.

Soon after, these moogle charms were unified with the wonderful eastern nigiri dishes, that the young maidens would create, and in honor of the elements that dictate Eorzean life and the moogles who helped host the celebrations, the KupO-nigiris were created.

Chefs and restaurateurs from all over sprang to create their very own versions of the KupO-nigiris (minus the Kupo Nut Charm) and the new Eorzean delight was enjoyed by the masses.

However, the great Empire had its eyes on destroying the mooglicious peace and many ages after the cataclysmic ‘event’ in Mor Dhona, this small, edible enchantment was forgotten.

But then recently since the 6th Umbral Era, and the return of King Moggle Mog, these nut charms were rediscovered. Alas, Prudentia and her dear friend and rival Pulmia, were able to reinvent the delectable KupO-nigiris of so many ages ago.

Ifrit's Lemon Peppered Fire Steak

Recipe (Rank 55 - yields 1 per craft)
1x Buffalo Sirloin
1x Dried Marjoram
1x Salted Butter
1x Dragon Pepper
1x Black Pepper
1x Sun Lemon
1x Buffalo Milk
1x Laurel
2x Fire Crystals

Cooking Instructions
First, take your Buffalo Sirloin and trim the excess fat off with a knife. You'll want to make sure that the cut of the steak is about 1 & 1/2 inches thick.

Now you will want to get a bowl and fill it with Buffalo Milk. Put the steak in the bowl of Buffalo Milk. Place the bowl in a fridge or cast Blizzara around it if you are lacking a fridge. Let it set for at least 5 hours.

Grab your Dragon Pepper and slice it with a knife in a chopping motion from tip to tip. Be careful not to chop any of your fingers off as you will probably need those later on.

Now, get out your frying pan and Salted Butter. Preheat your frying pan on your stove. Then, add 3 tbsp of Salted Butter and set the stove at a medium heat. Add half of your slices of Dragon Pepper to the pan and sauté them for 3 minutes then, remove them from the pan.

Take your Sun Lemon and cut it in half. Get a mixing bowl and add the other half of Dragon Pepper slices, 4 tsp of Black Pepper, 2 tsp of Dried Marjoram, a sprig of Laurel, and squeeze one half of your Sun Lemon in the mixing bowl. Mix it together really well.

Take the cut of Buffalo Sirloin out of the bowl of Buffalo Milk and place it in the mixing bowl to coat it nicely.

Put the steak in the pan. You will want to sear the steak on high heat until it forms a nice crust on all sides of the steak, this normally takes about 2 minutes. Then, cook it on low heat for 7 minutes, flip it, and cook it for another 7 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the meat set for 10 minutes.

Finally you can plate the steak, place the sautéd Dragon Pepper slices on the meat, squeeze the other half of the Sun Lemon over it, and enjoy the high quality meal you just made!

Warning: It is best to have a White Mage on stand by when eating Ifrit's Lemon Peppered Fire Steak as it has been known to make some people faint.
