Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 shallots - peeled and chopped finely
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove - peeled and minced
  • 2 tbsp cognac or bourbon
  • ¾ cup beef stock - water plus 2 stock cubes is fine.
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Add the butter and oil to a frying pan and heat over a medium heat.
  2. When the butter has melted, add the shallots, salt, pepper and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shallots are just starting to soften.
  3. Add the cognac or bourbon to the pan, bubble for 1 minute, then add in the stock, Worcestershire sauce and mustard.
  4. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in the cream (if you have any juices from resting your steak, add them to the pan now too). Bring back to a simmer, then turn off the heat.
  6. Serve over steak.
  7. If you do not want to use alcohol, use an extra teaspoon of Worcestershire
