Provided by Danilo Alfaro

Categories     Condiment     Sauce

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 large shallot , or 2 medium shallots
3 tablespoons lemon juice (about one lemon's worth)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Peel and finely chop the shallot. You should end up with about 3 tablespoons in total.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, soften up the butter for a couple of minutes on low speed.
  • Add the lemon juice and chopped shallot to the butter and continue mixing until the shallots are fully incorporated.
  • Spread out a large (1-foot or bigger) square of plastic wrap across your work surface, then scoop the mixed butter onto the plastic. You are now going to roll the butter into a cylinder inside the plastic wrap.
  • Tie the excess plastic wrap at the ends of the cylinder into a knot, or just use little pieces of string to tie off the ends. You can even make a string out of a short section of plastic wrap and roll it into a little rope.
  • Chill or freeze until needed.

STEAK WITH RED WINE-SHALLOT SAUCE



Steak with Red Wine-Shallot Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 43m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1-pound New York strip steak (about 1-inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large shallot, minced
3/4 cup boxed red wine
2 to 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Place the steak, standing up on the strip of fat, in the pan and hold it with tongs until the fat renders and the pan is slick, about 2 minutes.
  • Place the steak flat in the pan and sear until deep brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until a thermometer inserted sideways into the thickest part registers 120 degrees for medium-rare, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Reserve the drippings in the skillet.
  • Add the shallot to the drippings and cook over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, about 7 minutes; remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to make a glossy sauce. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper or season to taste. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the sauce.

SKIRT STEAK WITH SHALLOT-THYME BUTTER



Skirt Steak With Shallot-Thyme Butter image

Steve Johnson, the chef at the Blue Room in Cambridge, Mass., has been cooking skirt steak for years, long before it became wildly popular. But never before has he served a better - or simpler - rendition of this long, thin band of wonderfully marbled beef. His secret: a slice of compound butter, flavored with shallots, chives and thyme, that melts over the meat. It had been so long since I had seen flavored butter on steak that this version came as something of a revelation.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 pound unsalted butter, softened slightly
1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
10 chives, minced
1 shallot, peeled and minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar or lemon juice
About 24 ounces skirt steak, cut into 4 portions

Steps:

  • Prepare a gas or charcoal grill; the fire should be so hot you can hold your hand over it for only a couple of seconds.
  • Meanwhile, cream the butter with a fork, adding thyme, chives, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the vinegar or juice.
  • Grill the steak, 2 minutes a side for rare, about a minute longer per side for medium-rare. As it cooks, season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread each steak with about a tablespoon of the flavored butter, and serve. Remaining butter can be wrapped and refrigerated or frozen.

BROILED STEAK WITH SHALLOT BUTTER



Broiled Steak with Shallot Butter image

The original British recipe from a 'Housekeeper's Guide' of 1845 recommends 'catsup' instead of Worcestershire sauce. It is still possible to buy mushroom ketchup which is rather similar to Worcestershire sauce and this can be delicious with the shallot butter on any grilled steak.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Look for shallots that are firm and have no signs of sprouting. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the sauce. And, of course, use a good quality steak.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the shallots, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the shallots will steam instead of sear.
  • Be patient. Searing the shallots and steak takes time. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with undercooked food.
  • Use a meat thermometer. The best way to ensure that your steak is cooked to your desired doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the steak and cook until it reaches the desired temperature.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing. Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Shallot butter sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that is perfect for steak. It is rich, flavorful, and buttery, and it adds a touch of elegance to any meal. Whether you are a beginner cook or a seasoned pro, you'll be able to make this sauce with ease. So next time you're looking for a simple but impressive sauce to serve with your steak, give shallot butter sauce a try. You won't be disappointed.
