Herb Butter Served on Steaks
- 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 pound rib-eye of beef, off the bone
- Oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- Small bunch (20 grams) summer savory leaves
- Pinch sea salt
- 8 3/4 ounces (250 grams-2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- Potatoes, peeled, cut in to 1 inch dice and cooked for 10 to 15 minutes
- Fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 bulb garlic
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C degrees/400 degrees F/ Gas Mark 6.
- Remove some of the rosemary leaves from the stalks by running your thumb and forefinger down the length of the stalk.
- Sharpen the ends of the rosemary skewer to make them into little arrows, then pierce them through the beef to flavor it.
- Chop up the rosemary leaves and press onto the beef on both sides.
- Cover and allow to stand for 1/2 hour until room temperature.
- (Beef tastes better if cooked at room temperature.)
- Make the butter by bashing the garlic, summer savory and a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, then combine with the softened butter, mixing to flavor all of it.
- Put into buttered paper, roll into a sausage shape, and chill.
- Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Drain, then toss in the colander to chuff up.
- Drizzle some oil over the beef and pat onto both sides.
- Heat a frying pan suitable for the oven, and cook the beef for 1 minute on each side.
- Remove from the pan, add the potatoes with some rosemary and bashed garlic, salt and pepper, then put the beef back into the pan.
- Put the pan into the oven and roast the beef and potatoes for about 30 minutes.
- To serve, slice the meat and place 2 slices of the butter on top.
- (Freeze the remaining butter.)
