Ingredients

  • 2 Manhattan striploin steaks (225 g each), from Maillard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, to oil the barbecue grate

Butter and Dijon sauce (for 2 people)

  • 1/4 cup salted butter or semi-salted
  • 2 tbsp white wine
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3-4 sprigs of thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried tarragon (optional)
  • Pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Get the meat out of the refrigerator, salt and pepper, and let sit for 30 to 60 minutes.
  2. Right before cooking the meat, prepare the sauce: in a small pan, melt half the butter at medium heat. Add the garlic and the shallot, sauté for 2 minutes. Add the white wine, let it reduce, and add the Dijon mustard, thyme, tarragon and pepper. Add the rest of the butter by small portions and melt by whisking it. Reserve.
  3. Preheat the barbecue at high heat. Clean and oil the grates.
  4. Put the steaks on the grill, cook for 2 minutes and rotate 45 degrees to get checkered grill marks. Keep on cooking for another 2 minutes. Turn, and cook a few more minutes, until desired doneness. Transfer on a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, heat the sauce for a few minutes at low heat, in order to re-liquify it a little (optional). Whisk once again.
  6. Slice the steaks and serve with the butter and Dijon sauce.
  7. Note: You can double the sauce to use it on the side dishes. It’s excellent with grilled potatoes or vegetables.
