The big red wine's natural best friend — entrecôte, red wine sauce, and bone marrow. Cabernet Sauvignon, Barolo, Brunello — pick your favourite and pour generously. The dish can take it.

Ingredients

  • 4 entrecôte steaks (about 300g each, 3cm thick), at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • Flaky sea salt, black pepper
  • Bone marrow butter:
  • 100g room-temperature butter
  • 2 tbsp roasted bone marrow (or skip and use plain butter with thyme)
  • 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Red wine sauce:
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 300ml red wine
  • 200ml beef stock
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Black pepper

Method

  1. 11. Bone marrow butter: mash together butter, bone marrow (if using), parsley, and salt. Roll into a log in clingfilm, freeze 15 minutes.
  2. 22. Red wine sauce: sauté shallots in a little butter 2 minutes. Pour in red wine, reduce to a third. Add stock, reduce by half. Strain if you like. Whisk in butter and mustard. Keep warm.
  3. 33. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron pan until smoking.
  4. 44. Sear in neutral oil 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest 5 minutes on a warm plate.
  5. 55. Cut a thick slice of bone marrow butter and place on each steak. Serve with the red wine sauce alongside.
