Strip Steaks with Chive-Butter Sauce
Prep time:
5 minutesCooking time:
20 minutesThis savory sauce is excellent on any steak or chop. So select a less expensive cut, such as Porterhouse or T-bone, to save a few dollars. Try the sauce on grilled chicken, too.
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 4 strip steaks or shell steaks (about 8 ounces each)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
Directions
1
Preheat grill or broiler. Cook steaks, turning once, for 20 minutes for medium-rare.

Meanwhile, combine broth, green onions, thyme, sage and basil in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Strain and reserve broth.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 2 minutes.
4
Stir in reserved broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add salt, lemon juice, chives and tarragon; mix well. Divide sauce among small bowls; serve alongside steak.

Apple-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
For a less expensive side dish, use canned rather than fresh sweet potatoes. Since you won't have the potato skins, bake the potato-apple mixture in four individual ramekins or small soufflé dishes.
