Steps:
- Sauté the steaks.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the pan to smoking point and add half the butter. Place the steak in the pan and brown it on both sides - give it about two to three minutes on each side to seal it first, then let the meat cook through to your taste. Do both steaks in this way and then set them aside.
- Cook the shallots.
- In the same pan, (drain excess butter if needed), cook the shallots. Put them in the pan and stir from time to time until they are soft and starting to turn golden.
- Deglaze the pan.
- When the shallots are done add the red wine to the pan and give it a good stir.
- Now, add the demi glace or beef stock to the pan and stir until everything is blended, then leave it to simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced.
- Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and add them to the sauce one at a time, mixing so that they melt into the mixture: this will give the sauce a rich flavour and give it an appetising glossy finish,.
- Plate the dish.
- Cut the meat across the grain into thick slices and arrange them on a plate.
- Add some chopped parsley to the sauce, then pour little of the sauce over each steak.
- Serve the rest of the sauce in a gravy boat.
- You might like to serve it with sauté potatoes, frites and some haricot verts.

Add to skillet and sear until cooked to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to plates. Add wine reduction to skillet and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Reduce heat to medium. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Steps:
- Put butter and oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. When the butter has foamed and begins to subside it is right for the steak.
- Fry steak on one side 4 to 5 minutes. Turn steak and brown on other side 4 to 5 minutes (for medium-rare), depending on desired degree of doneness. Test for doneness by cutting a small incision in the steak (just a very small incision, about the same size as a meat thermometer makes!).
- Remove steak to a hot platter and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Keep warm (cover and place in a 250 degree F oven).
- Add dry red wine, cognac, demi glace or beef stock, mushrooms and shallots to skillet and cook over high heat. Scrape up brown bits from bottom of the pan and boil until liquid is reduced almost to a syrup. Remove from heat and stir in the softened butter until it has melted. Pour sauce over steak.
- Top with a dab of crumbled Roquefort cheese, sprinkle with snipped fresh parsley and garnish with a sprig of rosemary, if desired.
- Wonderful served with Alsatian baked potatoes or Gratin Dauphinois, steamed seasonal vegetables or a tossed green salad, and ripe fresh berries in chantilly cream for dessert.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a high-quality entrecote steak that is at least 1 inch thick.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound the steak.
- Make sure the steak is completely dry before searing it. This will help it to brown evenly.
- Sear the steak over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until it is browned all over.
- Transfer the steak to a baking dish and cook it in a preheated oven until it reaches your desired doneness.
- While the steak is cooking, make the red wine sauce. Sauté shallots in butter until they are softened, then add red wine, beef broth, and thyme. Simmer the sauce until it is reduced and flavorful.
- Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
- Serve the steak with the red wine sauce and your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.
Conclusion:
This classic entrecote bordelaise recipe is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the red wine sauce is rich and savory. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this restaurant-quality meal at home.
