Method

  1. Heat the grill to medium. Put the butter, garlic, anchovies, shallots, lemon juice, mustard, horseradish, cayenne and paprika in a small saucepan set over a medium heat. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots and garlic are caramelised. 
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and add all the herbs. Season to taste. Rub the olive oil into the steaks and season one side with salt.
  3. Cook the steaks on the griddle, unseasoned side down, for 4 mins. Flip and cook for 3 mins on the other side. Transfer to a board and leave to rest for 7 mins.
  4. Carve your steak and arrange on a plate with your cowboy butter sauce in a ramekin.
