Ingredients
- 16 oz eye round roast or 2 8 oz beef filet
- handful chopped chives
Pistachio Sauce:
- Pan dripping from the steak
- Teaspoon Dijon mustard
- One chopped shallot
- One clove of garlic chopped
- Dash of Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ cup half and half
- ½ cup cognac
- ¼ cup crushed pistachios
Directions
Season the steak with kosher salt and pepper and sear on all sides until nicely brown and finish in a 350 degree oven until about 140-145 internal temp, this will be about medium about 8-10 min.
Now take out of pan and let rest, add the shallots and garlic to the pan and cook until soft, now add the mustard and the cognac and let flambé now add the cream and bring to a boil, now strain it into a smaller sauce pan.
Add a handful of the chopped pistachios and let cook out for 3-5 min making sure to add any other juices from the steak into the sauce.
To plate put the steak in the middle and carefully pour the sauce over and finish with some more pistachios and the chopped chives. Now go to town on this baby and make sure you are in the mood for something rich and meaty! I hope I did my Montenegrin chef justice.
