The original British recipe from a 'Housekeeper's Guide' of 1845 recommends 'catsup' instead of Worcestershire sauce. It is still possible to buy mushroom ketchup which is rather similar to Worcestershire sauce and this can be delicious with the shallot butter on any grilled steak.
Ingredients:
4 (8 ounce) steaks
oil
1 ounce butter
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce (or mushroom ketchup)
4 shallots, finely chopped
salt
fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
1. Rub the steaks on both sides with oil.
2. Heat the broiler until it is glowing.
3. Broil the steaks until just cooked to the point that you prefer, turning 2-3 times.
4. Melt the butter in a small frying pan, add the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, the shallots, salt and pepper.
5. Heat through, without cooking the shallots, mix in the parsley and keep on one side.
6. Put the steaks onto a heated dish and pour some of the shallot butter over each, when it will mingle with the juices.
7. Serve at once with your favourite side dishes.
