1100 meters is enough for a flap 20 landing which helps a bit to fight a crosswind. +1 on the brakes and reverse re Step Turn. You could even afford to fly it down with a bit of power and wing down until touchdown and then using reverse sensibly. A couple of extra knots should help if the wind is particularly strong. Runway surface looks good, braking shouldn't be an issue

Something must have gone particularly wrong in this case.
