Best Minute Steaks With Anchovy Butter Recipes

GRILLED STEAK WITH ANCHOVY COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine the softened butter with the anchovies, garlic, herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
• Combine the olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and pour over the steaks. Make sure the steak is well-covered on both sides then cover and allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the fridge. Remove the steak from the fridge an hour before cooking.
• Preheat your grill for 10-15 minutes then cook the steaks to your preference. 2-3 minutes per side for rare. 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium. 5-6 minutes per side for well done.
• Remove the steak from the heat and place on a plate or board. Loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
• Serve the steak with dollops of the compound butter.

FAUX FILETS AU BEURRE D'ANCHOIS (STEAK WITH ANCHOVY BUTTER)

Steps:

• Remove the anchovies from the cans and drain well; rinse under cold running water and pat dry.
• Place the anchovies and the butter in a food processor or a blender and process, or mix with an immersion blender in a bowl until the anchovy butter is smooth.

• Remove from steamer and keep warm.

• Broil for three minutes without turning for medium rare, longer if you prefer.
• Place the steaks on a warm platter and cover.

• Cut the steaks into thin slices.
• Add the juice from the steaks to the butter.
• Spoon half half the butter mixture over the sliced steak and toss the broccoli in the remaining butter.
• Serve immediately.
