Sacr Boeuf Sirloin Steak Topped With Mustard Herb Butter Recipes

SACRé BOEUF SIRLOIN STEAK TOPPED WITH MUSTARD HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients (except the steaks!) in a bowl. Turn the mixture out onto a sheet of greaseproof paper and roll into a sausage shape. (You could use cling film if you wish instead.) Chill the butter mixture for at least one hour. Remove just before serving on top of the steak, and cut into rounds.
• Cook the steaks to your liking and leave to rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the juices to run back into the meat.
• Just before serving, place a couple of rounds/discs of mustard butter on top of the steaks and serve with chips (fries) and grilled tomatoes or fresh salad leaves.
• Sacré Bleu!

BEEF SIRLOIN STEAKS WITH FRESH HERBS (COTES DE BOEUF AUX HERBES)

Steps:

• In a cast-iron frying pan over high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil until the mixture turns a light brown.
• Add the steaks and sear well, about 1 minute.
• Turn, sprinkle with sea salt, and brown on the second side for 1 minute more.
• Turn again, reduce the heat slightly, and cook, turning once, for about 6 minutes on each side for rare, or until done to your liking.
• Transfer to a platter, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 to 8 minutes before carving.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
• Add the shallots and saute until softened but not colored, about 30 seconds.
• Add the stock, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard, the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, and the herbs.
• Stir in any juice that has collected on the platter holding the beef.
• Season with salt and pepper; pour into a warmed bowl.
• Transfer the steaks to an attractive cutting board and sprinkle them with pepper, then carry the board to the table.
• Cut along the bone to free the meat then carve in slices diagonally across the grain. Pass the sauce at the table.
