Method

  1. To make the red wine butter, boil the red wine, garlic, bay leaf and black peppercorns in a small saucepan until reduced to 2 tbsp. Strain into a bowl and cool.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the butter with an electric hand whisk or a mini blender until soft. Gradually beat in the reduced red wine. Stir in the parsley and season with salt. Spoon onto a piece of clingfilm then wrap and firmly twist the ends to form a sausage shape. Chill in the fridge or freezer to firm up.
  3. To make the steaks, coarsely crush the mixed peppercorns in a mortar with a pestle or put them through a grinder and tip onto a plate. Brush each steak with a little olive oil, season with salt and press both sides of the steaks into the peppercorns.
  4. Barbecue for 2 minutes each side for a rare (3 minutes for medium). Leave to rest for a few minutes before serving with a couple of slices of the red wine butter.
