Method

1
Take the meat out of the fridge one hour before grilling, so the meat is not ice cold and closer to room temperature. Start the ​​barbecue – you can prepare the sauce as it heats.
2
In a mixing bowl, mix the chopped onion, garlic, rosemary, chives, lemon zest, and ground black and pink pepper. Place the butter in a saucepan and reserve for later.
3
Grill the entrecôte steaks on both sides on the hottest part of the BBQ for 1 minute to seal them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then grill again for 2-3 minutes for medium rare, and longer for well done. ​​
4
Melt the butter in the saucepan, add all the mixed ingredients, and stir well for a few minutes. Serve the entrecôtes with the melted butter sauce poured on top.

Lemon and herbs – a flavour match made in heaven

Some combinations just work in every dish, and putting together lemon and herbs is one of them. In our garlic butter sauce, we opted for fresh rosemary and chives, creating a delicious balance of bright and savoury flavours. Lemon adds a zesty tanginess that goes deliciously with rosemary and chives' earthy and savoury notes. In addition, lemon amplifies the aromas of the green herbs, creating a more intense, delicious experience.

Adding garlic to this flavourful combination of lemon and herbs creates a richer, deeper flavour as garlic has a strong, even pungent flavour that makes the overall dish more complex. Everything combined in a butter sauce is simply irresistible.
