CREAMY ANCHOVY BUTTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Make sure the butter is very soft, at room temperature. Add it to a blender.
• Blend it well until creamy and smooth. Then add the chopped tarragon and garlic paste.
• Blend again. Then add the salted anchovy fillets (you can also add half of the anchovies if you don't want it to get too salty). Also season with a pinch of pepper. Don't add extra salt
• Blend again. Check the seasoning and add extra pepper or garlic paste to taste.
• Pour the olive oil in a large non-stick pan, season with a little pepper and place it over high heat. Once the oil is smoking hot, add the steaks.
• Sear them nicely on both sides until dark brown. Cook the steaks the way you prefer. I like my steaks rare to medium rare.
• Once cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a clean chopping board covered with tinfoil for 5 minutes. Then place them onto warm plates and finish with a generous dollop or a slice of anchovy butter. Serve immediately.
