Prepare Bearnaise Butter:
- Using a fork, combine the softened butter, finely chopped shallots, fresh lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. If you don’t have shallots, minced garlic and a bit of minced onion can be used as substitutes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Shape and Chill:
- Place a sheet of wax paper on a clean surface. Transfer the butter mixture onto the wax paper and shape it into a log. Twist the ends tightly to secure the butter. Chill the butter log in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until it firms up.
-
Season and Grill Steaks:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the steaks with freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Grill the steaks to your desired level of doneness, whether you prefer them rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done.
-
Top with Bearnaise Butter:
- Once the steaks are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter or individual plates. While the steaks are still hot, top each one with a generous slice of the chilled Bearnaise Butter. Allow the butter to melt slightly over the steaks, enhancing their flavor and richness.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the Company Steak With Bearnaise Butter immediately while still hot. The melted butter will create a luscious sauce that pairs beautifully with the juicy steaks. Don’t forget to have some crusty bread on hand to soak up any remaining juices and butter on the plate.
-
Storage Tip:
- Any leftover Bearnaise Butter can be tightly wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Simply slice off another piece whenever you’re ready to enjoy it again!
