A chef that came as a host to that radio food show i talked about is totally allergic to anchovies . he had tons of the sauce while at that restaurant and he had no reaction whatsoever , so he said it is 100 percent garanteed there are zero anchovies in that sauce👍
What are the very pretty leaves on the serving plate at the end? I would be thrilled to grow that beautiful leaf that looks like it is wearing a purple scroll work on its back in my garden. Any body know?
Chimichurri a la Francaise
His speaking reminds me of Peter Sellers in Pink Panther, cooking is great though.
😂😂😂😂😂ta changer la sauce 😂
I have eaten at the Entrecote restaurant in Paris some years ago. It was great, so good !
Anchovas
À priori, dans la sauce originale, il y’aurait des anchois et une sorte de noix ou des pignons de pin et un peu plus d’estragon.. mais qui sait, ça reste une sauce secrete 😅
Au Harry's NY Bar, le gout du steak, de la viande prime et aussi bonne cette sauce soit-elle, elle va cacher un peu le gout de la viande.
i have been studying french cuisine for the past two years this channel has been very helpfull thank you so much!
The sauce is actually called la "sauce Porte-Maillot".
It sounds like you're talking about the Cafe de Paris, which is a cafe in Geneva, not Paris, that only serves a steak frites with its mystery green sauce, and which has been making it since the 1930s. I think the Entrecote chain in Paris is simply copying the Geneva original, which would have been known to the founder as he owned Swiss vineyards and so must have spent much time in French-speaking Switzerland, of which Geneva is the main city.
ah copied by the Café de Paris in Geneva 🤗
It’s uMami not Unami 😊
isnt it a copy of cafe de Paris in Geneva? but its richer with anchovies, capers, curry etc..
If anchovies is off the table, bone marrow is a classic umami sauce ingredient that could be the missing puzzle piece. Or it is the first step of the sauce, used while deglazing the pan where the steak is cooked in the second step. Wich will brown & umami the sauce.
Run the sauce through a sieve
That looks so delicious! I will make this soon.
Ive got a trick for you, blitz the herbs with a mortar/pestle or blender down to a pesto consistency, add them after the butter and shallot cook, your sauce will be green, bright and more herbal flavor… the ingredients are perfect its the amount and order
I just tried it and it waaaaas delicious
I am the translator of the English version of this book On Va Déguster Paris (and also On Va Déguster La France), so viewers will know that the book you were showing does have an English version, "Let's Eat Paris" (as well as "Let's Eat France").
Maybe add anchovies? Not a lot.
A little goes a long way, I am not talking about pouring the Whole Bottle in it… Hahahahahahaha 😂!!!
Do you think they browned the butter first?
I prefere chimichurri on my steak.
The missing part: Le coup de main…
The one I made had anchovy, capers and walnuts. It's also traditionally meant to split.
Worcestershire sauce for Umami?
