Method

Cooking the Côte de Boeuf

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the Côte de Boeuf from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the steak in the pan. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until a crust forms.

  3. 3

    Cook to Desired Doneness

    Transfer the pan to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Making Béarnaise Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine shallots, white wine vinegar, and white wine. Simmer until reduced by half. Strain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the reduction over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) until thickened.

  3. 7

    Incorporate Butter

    Slowly whisk in the melted butter until the sauce is thick and creamy. Stir in chopped tarragon, salt, and pepper.

Making Port Wine Truffle Jus

  1. 8

    Reduce the Port

    In a saucepan, bring port wine to a boil and reduce by half.

  2. 9

    Combine with Beef Stock

    Add beef stock and simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in truffle oil and butter, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
