Steak with Vietnam coriander sauce

Vietnam coriander

 

Got a box of super fresh home grown Vietnam coriander, a herb with powerful characteristic perfume. Thought of having it with steak, sort of like replacing tarragon in Bearnaise sauce.

Steak with Vietnam coriander sauce

1. Sear steak in a hot pan for a brown look on both sides, rest in 80˚C oven.

2. Sweat onion, deglace with wine, add 1/2 cup water, season with soy sauce, black pepper and brown sugar, simmer until onion soft.

3. Remove from heat and stir in Vietnam coriander leaves, just to warm the leaves to soften and reduce the powerful perfume, serve on top of steak.
