MINUTE STEAKS WITH BARBEQUE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place each steak between two sheets of heavy plastic (or inside a resealable freezer bag) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound each steak with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Remove steaks from plastic.
• Generously season each steak with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Combine beef broth, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, and black pepper in a bowl. Add chilled butter to broth mixture but do not stir.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke, about 1 minute. Place each steak in the pan; sear for 45 to 60 seconds on each side. Remove steaks from skillet and set them aside to rest.
• Pour the broth mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir occasionally until butter is melted and incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• Spoon broth and butter mixture over steak and serve.

STEAK WITH ANCHOVY GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife. Mash together butter, anchovy paste, lemon juice, garlic paste, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined well. Stir in parsley.
• Pat steaks dry and sprinkle with salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Sauté steaks 1 at a time, turning once, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
• Top steaks with a dollop of anchovy butter and slice.

FAUX FILETS AU BEURRE D'ANCHOIS (STEAK WITH ANCHOVY BUTTER)

Steps:

• Remove the anchovies from the cans and drain well; rinse under cold running water and pat dry.
• Place the anchovies and the butter in a food processor or a blender and process, or mix with an immersion blender in a bowl until the anchovy butter is smooth.
• Set aside.
• Bring salted water to a boil in a steamer, place the broccoli in the top of the steamer and steam 3 to 6 minutes or until done to your taste.
• Remove from steamer and keep warm.
• Pre-heat the broiler.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat.
• When the pan is very hot, saute the steaks about one minute one each side--the meat should be seared on the outside, raw on the inside.
• Place the steaks on a sheet pan and coat the steaks with 2/3 of the anchovy butter.
• Broil for three minutes without turning for medium rare, longer if you prefer.
• Place the steaks on a warm platter and cover.
• Place the sheet pan across two burners and, over medium high heat, melt the remaining butter, stirring and scraping to get all the fond from the pan.
• Cut the steaks into thin slices.
• Add the juice from the steaks to the butter.
• Spoon half half the butter mixture over the sliced steak and toss the broccoli in the remaining butter.
• Serve immediately.

MINUTE STEAKS WITH ANCHOVY BUTTER

Steps:

• In a skillet, combine the anchovies, shallot and vinegar. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the anchovies break down and the vinegar has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Mash the anchovies with a wooden spoon. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature. Add the butter, herbs and pepper and mix well. Scrape the butter onto a sheet of parchment paper and roll into a log or pack into an airtight container. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the canola oil until smoking. Season the steaks on both sides with the Montreal steak spice. Working in 2 batches, sear the steaks over high heat for 30 to 40 seconds per side until well browned outside but rare. Transfer the steaks to a rack set over a baking sheet. On a serving plate, stack the steak slices with a big pat of the anchovy butter between each slice. Top with a big pat of butter and serve immediately, dividing the stack at the table. MAKE AHEAD The anchovy butter can be refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for 1 month. NOTES Montreal steak spice, which includes garlic, coriander and cayenne, is based on the spices used in Montreal smoked meat. It's available at supermarkets.
