    It works fabulously with steak, but also adds an amazing flavour to roasted onions!

    The memory for this butter is the beautiful buttery jus that we used to serve over steak in the hotel. A splash of wine reduced down and then enriched with a knob of butter. So simple and so delicious!

    • 100 ml red wine
    • 1 shallot
    • 125 g /1/2 cup/1 stick butter
    • 1 bunch of parsley
    • cracked black pepper

    Instructions

    • Finely chop the shallot and place them in a pan with the red wine.
    • Bring it to the boil and cook until there is pretty much no wine left. This takes a good 5-10 minutes.
    • Set it aside to cool.
    • Place the butter, parsley and a grind of pepper into the food processor and whizz.
    • Add in the red wine shallots and pulse until everything is combined and a fabulous colour.
    • Lay a large strip of cling film out on the bench , spoon the butter into a rough log onto the long edge of the cling film. (It will take up the centre 3rd of the the cling film.
    • Carefully roll the cling film around the butter, then pinch the ends together and keep rolling it tight until you have a nice tight log.
    • Tie a quick knot in the ends of the cling film and store it in the fridge.

      Odd question however, do you think this can be made with red wine thats oxidized?

        Hmmm, I don't know.
        I am torn between thinking because the wine is reduced so much that it won't matter, but also maybe then it will just taste too vinegary as it has oxidized.
        I think possibly it would work.
        Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer.
