Ingredients

1 anchovy fillet, rinsed and chopped

1/4 tsp. chopped garlic

Kosher salt

3 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into 3 pieces

2 tsp. finely chopped fresh parsley

1/2 tsp. capers, rinsed and finely chopped

1/4 tsp. finely grated lemon zest

Freshly ground black pepper

1 Tbs. canola oil

Two 6- to 8-oz. tri-tip steaks (or your favorite cut)

Directions

CAPER ANCHOVY BUTTER

Mash the anchovy fillet into a paste on a cutting board with the side of a chef’s knife.

Sprinkle the garlic with a pinch of kosher salt and mash it into a paste.

Put the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave it on high in 10-second bursts until it just begins to melt.

Mash the butter with a fork and stir in the anchovy, garlic, parsley, capers, lemon zest, and a few grinds of black pepper.

STEAKS

Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.

Sear the steaks on all sides until a meat thermometer reads 120°F for rare or 125°F for medium rare, 8 to 10 minutes total.

Serve each steak topped with a dollop of the butter.

Oh my gosh - this sounds wonderful as long as my hubby doesn't know I put anchovies in it. You see he fishes with them and thinks of them as bait! I put them in all kinds of things and he always comments on how good it is. So what they don't know - don't tell them!
