Japanese-Style Shark Steak over Spelt

Japanese-style-inspired comfort food: tender shark steak paired with shallot, taro root and chili pepper and spelt, finished with chervil and mint and a hit of curry powder and nutritional yeast. 1. Pat the shark steak dry and season with sea salt, curry powder and nutritional yeast. 2. Heat walnut oil in a heavy pan and roast the shark steak until it develops a deep golden crust, about 13 minutes. 3. Add shallot, taro root and chili pepper to the pan and cook until just tender, stirring in chervil and mint for fragrance. 4. Cook the spelt separately according to type until tender, then combine with the pan juices. 5. Rest briefly, taste, and adjust seasoning before serving hot.
