Cooking Conversion Table
Ingredients:
1 pound butter
2 ounces brandy
1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 ounce fresh garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Four 4-6 ounce steaks (sirloin or another tender cut of choice beef steak)
Instructions for this restaurant steak recipe:
Put all steak butter ingredients in a food processor and process until creamy (or mix the old
fashioned way in a bowl with a spoon until creamy)
Get your barbeque or your broiler hot
Brush the steaks with olive oil and place on grill
DO NOT SALT MEAT until it is off the grill
Cook to desired doneness (temperature)
Plate the steaks and let them "rest" for a minute or two (they deserve it)
Serve the steaks topped with about 1 tablespoon of the brandy butter
That's it! Good job!
Hey, what about the remaining brandy butter? No problem: Roll the butter into wax paper or
parchment paper and twist the ends closed. Place in freezer to use again!
