Make steak with thyme white wine reduction your way
This is a bit of a guideline recipe. You can go different ways with it. Blue-cheese mashed instead of truffled. Garlic mashed works too. The baseline steak with thyme white wine reduction recipe can go a whole bunch of ways. How you like it. Don’t want mashed? Some potatoes roasted in duck fat would be spectacular. You can plate it different ways too. Place the whole steak on top of the potatoes or slice it and nestle the steak between spoonfuls of mashed.
A bit of truffle flavour adds real wow
Getting the truffle flavour into the dish is easier than you think. Fresh truffles – overkill for this recipe. Truffle salt works beautifully though. Truffle salt is salt with little bits of real truffle. It’s a great ingredient – sauces, potatoes, soup – lots. Last is truffle oil. Truffle oil doesn’t actually have anything to do with truffles. It’s pretty tasty though so use that if it’s all you can get. But do learn about truffles if you haven’t tried them yet. It’s a wonderful flavour. Just remember – truffle is a delicate flavour. It will fade as you cook it so add it last. This recipe works with chicken stock. It works better with veal stock. It works fantastically with concentrated veal stock. Think of chicken stock as one star. Veal stock pushes it to two stars. Concentrated veal stock gets you the third star. Depends how nice a restaurant you feel like turning your kitchen into tonight.
