Time 25m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 4-ounce Pekin duck breast (see Cook's Note)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Grapeseed or vegetable oil, for frying
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, score the fat of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern, being careful to not cut into the meat. Season the duck with salt and pepper. Warm a cast-iron or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat and add enough oil to just coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Place the duck breast fat-side down in the skillet to render off the fat, about 8 minutes. Once the fat has rendered out and the skin is golden brown and crisp, turn the duck breast over and add the butter, thyme and garlic. Turn up the heat to medium-high and, once the butter is foamy, begin basting the duck breast using a spoon. Continue basting until the duck breast reaches medium rare and measures 135 to 140 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes before slicing.

This recipe is an insult to duck breast. It's a disgrace to the culinary world. I hope the author is ashamed of themselves for sharing such a terrible recipe.

Seriously, don't even bother with this recipe. It's a complete failure. I'm surprised the author even had the audacity to publish it.

This recipe is a joke. The instructions are unclear and the ingredients are impossible to find. I wouldn't even feed this dish to my dog.

Avoid this recipe at all costs! The duck breast was undercooked and the sauce was inedible. I ended up throwing the whole dish away. What a disaster!

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The duck breast was dry and tasteless, and the sauce was nothing special. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my duck breast turned out tough and chewy. The sauce was also bland and lacked flavor. I won't be making this recipe again.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my liking. I ended up with a burnt duck breast and a watery sauce. I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

The duck breast was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. However, I found the dish to be a bit too fatty. Next time, I'll try trimming the duck breast more before cooking it.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The duck breast was cooked well, and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found the dish to be a bit too salty. Next time, I'll use less salt in the sauce.

The duck breast was a bit overcooked for my liking, but the sauce was fantastic. I'll definitely be trying this recipe again, but I'll cook the duck breast for a shorter amount of time.

The duck breast was delicious, but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try using a different sauce, or maybe just reducing the amount of sugar.

I've tried many duck breast recipes, but this one is by far the best. The searing method creates a crispy skin and juicy interior, and the sauce is divine. Highly recommend!
