    800g cote de boeuf

  • -

    Brushing oil

  • -

    Cracked black pepper

  • -

    Sea salt crystals

  • -

    Green peppercorns

  • -

    Chopped shallot

  • -

    Butter

  • 3

    tbsp

    Bull's Eye original BBQ sauce

  • 150

    ml

    Double cream


Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whilst the steaks are resting make the sauce. Quickly fry the shallots in the butter at a high heat. Add the peppercorns, Bull's-Eye Original BBQ sauce and cream. Let the mix bubble slightly until thickened. Taste as you go and let it thicken to your favourite consistency.

  2. Step 2

    Allow your cote de boeuf steaks to sit out of the fridge until they reach room temperature. Cold meat straight onto the grill is a definite no.

  3. Step 3

    Use some kitchen paper to remove excess moisture from the surfaces of the steaks to ensure they're completely dry.

  4. Step 4

    Season well with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    When you're ready to start cooking your cote de boeuf steaks, brush the grill with a little oil. Lay the steaks down on the end nearest to you, keeping enough distance between them.

  6. Step 6

    As a guide, cook for about three minutes each side on a closed grill, but your cote de boeuf cooking time is up to you.

  7. Step 7

    When you've got it how you want it, remove from the grill and wrap in baking paper for 5-10 minutes. Resting time means maximum juiciness.

  8. Step 8

    Whilst the steaks are resting make the sauce. Quickly fry the shallots in the butter at a high heat. Add the peppercorns, Bull's-Eye Original BBQ sauce and cream. Let the mix bubble slightly until thickened. Taste as you go and let it thicken to your favourite consistency.
