MINUTE STEAKS WITH ANCHOVY BUTTER image

Categories     Beef

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons chopped anchovy fillets in oil, drained
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup equal parts chopped parsley, tarragon and chives
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
12 to 16 ounces top round-sliced crosswise into 4 slices, each slice pounded to a 1/4-inch thickness
Montreal steak spice, for seasoning (see Note)

Steps:

  • In a skillet, combine the anchovies, shallot and vinegar. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the anchovies break down and the vinegar has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Mash the anchovies with a wooden spoon. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature. Add the butter, herbs and pepper and mix well. Scrape the butter onto a sheet of parchment paper and roll into a log or pack into an airtight container. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the canola oil until smoking. Season the steaks on both sides with the Montreal steak spice. Working in 2 batches, sear the steaks over high heat for 30 to 40 seconds per side until well browned outside but rare. Transfer the steaks to a rack set over a baking sheet. On a serving plate, stack the steak slices with a big pat of the anchovy butter between each slice. Top with a big pat of butter and serve immediately, dividing the stack at the table. MAKE AHEAD The anchovy butter can be refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for 1 month. NOTES Montreal steak spice, which includes garlic, coriander and cayenne, is based on the spices used in Montreal smoked meat. It's available at supermarkets.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The anchovy butter is salty and savory, and it pairs perfectly with the tender steaks.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover anchovies. I always have a few cans in my pantry and I'm always looking for new ways to use them.

I'm not a huge fan of anchovies, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The anchovy butter was surprisingly delicious and it didn't overpower the flavor of the steaks.

This recipe is a keeper! The minute steaks were cooked perfectly and the anchovy butter was so flavorful. I served it with roasted potatoes and asparagus and it was a hit with my family.
