Method

1. For the Café de Paris butter, beat the butter in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon until it is soft, white and fluffy and has doubled in size.

2. Place the remaining Café de Paris butter ingredients in a food processor and process until well-combined and pureed.

3. Fold the puree into the softened butter. Mould a log shape out of the butter, wrap in baking parchment and freeze until required. It will take around an hour to solidify.

4. Heat the grapeseed oil and butter in a large frying pan until hot. Add the beef skirt and fry for 1 minute on each side.

5. Season the steak with salt and white pepper. Cut the butter into 1cm slices and place on top of the steaks.

6. Grill the butter-topped steak under a preheated grill so that the butter glazes, or use a blowtorch for the same effect. Serve at once with chips made from Maris Piper potatoes and purple-sprouting broccoli or kale.
