Succulent Steaks with Boursin Butter

Posted by on Sep 22, 2009 in French, Mains | 0 comments

Ingredients:

50g butter, softened

30g Boursin cheese flavoured with garlic & herbs

1 tbsp fresh, chopped parsley

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

4 prime fillet beef steaks, each weighing about 200g

1 to tbsp olive oil

250g bundle asparagus, trimmed, blanched & drained

16 cherry tomatoes on the vine

Method:

1. Beat together the butter, Boursin, parsley and seasoning, and roll into a log using clingfilm. Chill until hard enough to cut into four slices.

2. Season the fillet steaks, brush lightly with olive oil and barbecue over Direct High heat for 3 to 5 minutes each side, turning once.

3. Remove the steaks from the barbecue, add a slice of Boursin butter, cover with foil and then leave to rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to settle (for a fuller flavour) and the butter to melt over the meat.

4. Toss the asparagus tips and cherry tomatoes in olive oil and place on the barbecue for a couple of minutes on each side. Season to taste and serve with the steaks.

Note: Boursin is French type of cream cheese, so for this recipe any other type of garlic-herb cream cheese can be used.
