Flap Steak with Shallot Butter
Flap Steak with Shallot Butter
Ingredients
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- ½ cup (115 g) salted butter, softened
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp tarragon, finely chopped
- 1 ½ lb (675 g) beef flap steak, cut into 4 pieces
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
- Fleur de sel
Instructions
- In a small pot over medium heat, soften the shallot in 1 tbsp of the butter. Deglaze with the vinegar and let reduce until almost dry. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
- Add the remaining butter and the tarragon. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well with a spatula.
- On a slightly wet work surface, lay out a piece of plastic wrap. Spread the butter horizontally across the bottom of the plastic wrap, leaving an empty border on either side. Roll the butter tightly in the plastic wrap to form a cylinder about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Seal the cylinder by tying the plastic wrap in knots at either end. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the butter has hardened. Freeze at this point, if desired.
