INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BEARNAISE BUTTER
On a small plate with a fork blend all ingredients together well and
transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Using wax paper as an aid, shape butter
into a 4-inch-long log and wrap. Chill butter 1 hour long, or until firm.
Bearnaise butter may be made 5 days ahead and kept chilled, wrapped
tightly.
Prepare grill.
Bring steaks to room temperature and rub lightly with oil. Season steaks
with salt and pepper and grill on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing
coals 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat. (Alternatively,
steaks may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over
moderately high heat.)
Serve steaks topped with slices of bearnaise butter.
Serves 4.
