About

The original recipe from a Housekeeper’s Guide of 1845 recommends ‘catsup’ instead of Worcester sauce. It is still possible to buy mushroom ketchup which is rather similar and this can be delicious with the shallot butter on any grilled steak-Rub the steaks on both sides, with oil. Heat the grill until it is glowing.

Method

Grill the steaks until cooked to the point that you prefer, turning 2-3 times with a spatula. If using a fork do not prick the meat, but dig it into the fat, or the juices will run out.

Meanwhile just melt the butter in a small frying pan, add the vinegar and Worcester sauce, the shallots, salt and pepper. Heat through, without cooking the shallots, mix in the parsley and keep on one si
