Our Secret Culinary Weapon for the Perfect Steak

Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 beef steaks

  • PJ Kabos Family Reserve Organic Robust 4 tbsp.30 gr (2 tbsp.) butter

  • 30 gr (2 tbsp.) butter

  • 250 gr (1 cup) shallots chopped

  • 1 tbsp peppercorns, crushed

  • salt to taste

  • 50 gr (3 tbsp) rum

  • 150 gr (½ cup) cream

  • PJ KABOS Truffle Oil (optional)

  • 1 broccoli, head


Preparation

Prior to cooking

  • Remove the two steaks from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature.

  • Pat dry with paper towels.

  • Drizzle PJ Kabos Family Reserve Organic Robust generously on both sides of the steaks.

  • Apply salt and pepper to taste.


For the Shallot Cream Sauce

  • Over medium-low heat, melt the butter and 2 tablespoons of PJ KABOS Robust olive oil in a large sauté pan.

  • Add the shallots, seasoning them with salt and crushed peppercorns; sauté for one minute.

  • When browned (around 5-7 minutes), incorporate 3 tablespoons of high-quality Rum and allow it to evaporate.

  • Finally, add the cream and let it simmer uncovered for 2-3 minutes.

  • For additional flavor, consider mixing in PJ Kabos truffle oil. Using a blender, mix until the sauce becomes a smooth consistency.


Seared Filet

  • Heat a pan to high temperature, adding enough PJ Kabos Family Reserve Organic Robust to coat the bottom of the pan (Note: a grill may be used).

  • Place the steaks in the hot pan and refrain from moving them.

  • Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes, then flip and sear the opposite side for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  • Sear the steak’s edges for about 1 minute; remove and transfer to a plate and allow to rest covered with foil for 7 minutes before slicing.


Blanched Broccoli

  • Boil the broccoli in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, then refresh it in cold water to preserve flavor, color and texture. Before serving, season with pepper and a drizzle of PJ Kabos Family Reserve Organic Robust.

  • Place the sliced steak on serving plates; make a bed of the shallot peppercorn cream sauce for the steak (or cover on top) and serve with broccoli.


Allow the robust notes of the high-phenolic olive oil tantalize your palate, creating a harmonious dance of flavors that will leave you craving for more.
