HERBED STEAK BUTTER RECIPES

Delmonico steak is world-famous, first introduced by Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City in the mid-1800s. Over the years, Delmonico has applied to 8 different cuts of beef, though it's generally accepted to refer to a top grade of beef (such as rib-eye, New York or sirloin steak). This recipe is a classic method of preparing a quality Delmonico steak by slowly pan-searing the beef until it's sizzling hot, and then topping it with a pat of garlic-herb butter for added flavor. Try to buy grass-fed beef. Grass-fed steak is leaner and has about 100 fewer calories than a grain-fed steak.

A compound butter — a stick of butter seasoned with herbs, lemon and garlic or shallots — is one of the most versatile things to keep on hand. You can store it in the freezer, then slice it whenever you want to add herby richness to a dish. Use it on steak, fish, chicken or even mashed or roasted sweet potatoes. And feel free to vary the herbs to suit your taste. For a kick, a pinch or two of chile powder or a drizzle of hot sauce would do the trick. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master.
