BBQ “Onglet aux échalottes” (onglet with a shallot and veal sauce) by Matt Burgess
Ingredients:
1x Onglet steak
2 x shallots sliced
2 tbsn brandy
300ml beef stock
1 tbsn picked fresh thyme leaves
2 x bay leaves
20g unsalted butter
3g sea salt
¼ tsp red wine vinegar
¼ tsp cracked black pepper
Method:
- Preheat the BBQ, cooking indirect. Around 200c is ideal heat
- Melt the butter in a medium size sauce pan and add the sliced shallots.
- Cook on a low heat until shallots are starting to turn brown and have softened (8-10 minute’s)
- Add the Brandy, thyme and bay leaf and reduce (evaporate) the liquid by half
- Add the beef stock turn the heat up and cook for 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and add the cracked pepper, vinegar and salt.
- Sprinkle the onglet with sea salt and a little over oil place directly over coals
- Cook until your desired temperature - I love it medium rare
- Leave to rest for the same time it took to cook
- Slice and serve with a good helping of the sauce on the side
