Steak Frites! And some butter

It’s French bistro night:

Carte Du Jour

Pan Seared Bone-In Prime Strips / Beurre Maitre d’Hotel

Mixed Bitter Greens / Dijon Vinaigrette

Crispy Pommes Frites

Lots of Cheap Red Table Wine

Ok fancy French talkin’ guy, so what’s Beurre Maitre d’Hotel?  This:

Soften a stick of butter, beat with cracked pepper, sea salt and chopped fresh herbs — here: tarragon, chives and parsley.  Chill and form into a cylinder.* Slice into discs — and then…

Drop onto your steak, and it melts and makes its own sauce.  It melts and makes its own sauce!!  ITS OWN SAUCE!!!

* There’s an easy way to do this involving the back of a knife, saran wrap and some spinning.  Maybe will do a short video on that move.
