Entrecôte is the premium beef cut from the ribs, used for steak. Something a little special, enjoy alongside triple cooked chips & a glass of Bordeaux.
Method
Remember to remove your steaks
out of the packaging, pat dry and bring to room temperature
Pre heat your griddle or heavy based frying pan until it
sizzles when you add a drop of oil
Season the meat just prior to cooking
Massage with a little duck or goose fat, creating a very thin
layer over the meat
Cook over high heat turning the steak only once after a rich,
golden crust has formed, reduce heat to medium when crust has
formed
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes each side for medium rare reaching a
core temperature of 52ºc
Finish by adding a large knob of butter when frying or on the
griddle to baste the meat
Leave to rest in a warm place at least 5 minutes
Shallots
Place the shallots on a square of tin foil, add 1 tsp goose
fat, a pinch of sea salt, the garlic & thyme then create a
sealed parcel
Place in a pre heated oven 185ºc for 45 minutes until
tender
Remove & drain excess juice
Next, gently sear the shallots in a non stick pan for a few
moments until rich & golden
Vinaigrette
Whisk together the vinegar, mustard & oil to form a
emulsion, season with a little sea salt & cracked black
pepper
