Parisian-Style Hanger Steak Frites



When we lived in Geneva, there was a famous restaurant that only served one thing: entrecôte. Also known as steak-frites, it's thin-sliced hanger steak cooked to order, covered in the most delicious herb butter sauce I've ever had. People literally line up out the door every night to get in — and this is why. After playing with several bloggers' guesses about the sauce ingredients, including some that involved chicken livers, this combination came pretty darn close to our memory of the experience. Serve with shoestring fries.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1teaspoonvegetable oil, or as needed

  • 2hanger steaks

  • 2tablespoonsminced shallot

  • ¼cupdry white wine

  • ¼cupbeef broth

  • 2anchovy fillets, chopped, or more to taste

  • 3tablespoonsbutter

  • 1tablespoonminced fresh parsley

  • 1tablespoonminced fresh chervil

  • 1teaspoonminced fresh thyme

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a plate to rest.

  2. Place shallots in the skillet and cook until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Pour wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add broth and anchovy; cook until thickened to sauce consistency, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; whisk butter in gradually. Stir parsley, chervil, and thyme into the sauce. Purée sauce in the skillet with an immersion blender until smooth.

  3. Cut steaks into thin slices across the grain; spoon sauce over slices.

Cook's Notes:

Chicken broth may be substituted for the beef broth, if desired. I prefer homemade broth for this recipe.

Anchovy paste can be substituted for anchovy fillets, if desired.
