Do you cook entrecote in oil or butter?

Neither — at least, not at the beginning. Because you first render the entrecote on its fat edge using the cold-pan method, you cook the steak in its own fat. Only in the final minutes do you add real butter, garlic, and thyme, and baste the steak for extra flavor.

How do you season an entrecote?

Sprinkle the steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper before cooking. Nothing more is needed. After resting, carve the meat into slices and sprinkle some extra sea salt flakes on top.

Which sauce pairs best with entrecote?

An entrecote has so much flavor of its own that we honestly think a sauce is a waste. Do you still prefer eating it with one? Then choose a classic béarnaise, pepper sauce, or red wine sauce. For a fresh contrast, you can also opt for a chimichurri or salsa verde.

Should I remove the strip of fat from the entrecote?

No, absolutely not. At least not before cooking. That strip of fat is exactly what makes the entrecote so delicious. It protects the meat from drying out and releases a lot of flavor during cooking. Are you not a fan of eating fat? Cut it off after cooking. This way, you still get all the flavor without having to eat the fat.

How many grams of entrecote per person?

Count on 200 to 300 grams per person, depending on the side dishes. Are you serving a multi-course menu? Then 200 grams is more than enough. Is the entrecote the centerpiece? Then go for 250 to 300 grams. For a whole entrecote roast, we estimate 300 grams per person, because you always lose a few edges when carving.

What do you serve with an entrecote?

Side dishes with some body pair well with the robust flavor of an entrecote. Think of fries, a potato gratin, or pan-fried potatoes with rosemary. In terms of vegetables, you can go for grilled asparagus, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted cherry tomatoes. Our favorite: a combination of crispy fries, a handful of arugula with Parmesan, and a pat of herb butter on the steak.
