Directions
Make the aïoli
Combine egg yolks,
vinegar, and Dijon in a blender and process on high until frothy, about 15
seconds. With blender running, slowly drizzle in grapeseed oil until smooth and
thickened, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and clean the blender.
Add oysters and anchovies
to blender; process until smooth, about 15 seconds, stopping to scrape down
sides as needed. Stir anchovy mixture into egg yolk mixture until blended and
smooth. Season to taste with salt. Chill until ready to use.
Make the gremolata
Preheat a gas grill to
high (450°F to 550°F). Cut white part from leek and reserve for another use.
Wash green leek tops thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Break spines of
leek tops, opening them up so they can lie flat on grill grate. Place onion
slice on oiled grate; grill, uncovered, until softened and charred, about 6
minutes per side. Let cool slightly. Arrange leek tops in a single layer on
oiled grate; grill, uncovered, until slightly charred and crispy, 8 to 11
minutes, flipping often.
Finely chop charred onion
to equal 1/4 cup. Thinly slice leeks crosswise and finely chop. Stir together
leek, onion, parsley, grapeseed oil, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, and honey in
a small bowl until blended. Season to taste with salt.
Make the toasts
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Arrange rye bread slices in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt to taste. Bake in preheated oven
until golden brown and crisp, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Break bread slices in half.
Assemble the steak
tartare
Gently toss steak with 6
tablespoons charred leek gremolata, olive oil, and salt.
Spread a scant 1/4 cup
oyster aïoli on half of each of six plates; spoon tartare mixture evenly in a
circle in center of each plate. Stand four rye toasts up in each tartare mound.
Finish each with a drizzle of olive oil.
