Ingredients & method

Ingredients

  • 2 New York strip steaks, 3 cm thick (about 280 g each)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 60 g cold unsalted butter
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 150 ml dry red wine
  • 150 ml beef stock
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Flaky salt and black pepper

Method

  1. 1Season steaks with salt 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry before searing.
  2. 2Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove and rest on a warm plate.
  3. 3Reduce heat to medium. Add shallots and garlic to the pan and cook 2 minutes. Add wine, scraping up the drippings. Simmer until reduced by half.
  4. 4Add stock and reduce until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Stir in mustard and thyme. Remove from heat.
  5. 5Whisk in cold butter a few cubes at a time until the sauce is glossy and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon over the rested steaks.

Chef's tip
Let the steaks rest at room temperature before cooking — cold steak in a hot pan creates too much of a temperature gradient and results in uneven cooking.
