Steak de Burgo



Steak de Burgo

Ingredients
2 beef tenderloin fillets (220g each)
salt and cracked black pepper, to season
1 tbsp tallow or peanut oil
80g butter, cold and chopped
6 cloves garlic
3 sprigs fresh thyme
60ml (¼ cup/2oz) dry white wine
½ tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
mashed potato or crispy potatoes, steamed greens or salad, to serve

Method
Step 1: Prep and cook the beef
Pat dry your beef and season steaks well with salt.
Heat tallow in a heavy based frying pan over medium-high heat.
Place steaks carefully into your pan with the hot tallow and place a protein press on top. Turn steaks every 45 seconds, 4 times, to sear the outside of the fillets.
Remove protein press and continue to cook, flipping every 45 seconds until you reach your desired internal temperature of 5-6°C below medium rare (46°C – 52°C).
Add 20g of the butter, thyme and 3 crushed garlic cloves to the pan. Once the butter starts to foam, begin basting until your steaks reach the desired temperature.
Transfer to a tray to rest.
Step 2: Make the sauce
Reduce the heat to medium and discard the garlic and thyme from the pan.
Finely chop the remaining garlic, then add to the pan with the oregano and saute, moving frequently, for 30 seconds.
Deglaze pan with wine and cook for 30 seconds to reduce by half.
Turn the heat off and add the remaining butter, mix continuously until the sauce comes together. Check for seasoning, then add the torn basil.
Step 3: Finish and serve
Slice steaks to serve, then pour over a generous amount of sauce, with a side salad or steamed greens and crispy potatoes or mash.

  1. When you break down a bigger cut of meat into smaller portions like that, what do you do with the cuts you don't want to cook right away? Do you vacuum seal and freeze them or is it better to plan on cooking all of it within a couple days once it's out of the original packaging?

  2. Uh this dish is just generic "steak" with a butter thyme oregano and basil pan sauce… Every chef has made this at some point probably just out of boredom and lack of a predefined pan sauce
