Ingredients

  • 2 beef filet mignon steaks (or sirloin steaks)
  • 2 ounces butter, softened (50 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon very finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Method

  • Place the butter in a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the rosemary, mustard, garlic and pepper.
  • Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or cling wrap. Roll the butter inside the paper into a log shape; twist the ends of the paper to seal.
  • Refrigerate the butter at least 1 hour until firm (make-ahead tip: butter will keep in the fridge for several days, or may be frozen).
  • Cook steaks to your liking, and let rest 2-3 minutes before serving.
  • Slice the butter into thick rounds, set one on top of each grilled steak and serve.
  • Great with jacket potatoes and a fresh garden salad.
  • Note: Recipe makes enough butter for 2 steaks, but may easily be doubled or tripled etc. to suit.
