Instructions
- 1
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 2
In a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter with the chopped anchovies, 2 minced garlic cloves, lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh parsley until a compound butter forms. Set aside.
- 3
Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F.
- 4
Place the radishes on a baking tray or oven-safe skillet, toss them with 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil and a pinch of salt, and roast for 18 to 20 minutes at 220 °C / 425 °F until golden and tender.
- 5
While the radishes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil and sear the steaks for 2 to 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- 6
To finish cooking, transfer the skillet to the oven or place the steaks on a hot tray and roast at 220 °C / 425 °F for 4 to 6 minutes for medium, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- 7
In another large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the anchovy lemon butter over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic clove and cook for 30 seconds.
- 8
Add the sliced green cabbage and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage softens but still keeps some texture.
- 9
Stir the apple cider vinegar into the cabbage, mix well, and cook 1 minute more. Adjust salt if needed.
- 10
Serve a bed of sautéed cabbage on each plate, add the golden radishes, and place a steak on top. Finish each serving with a spoonful of the anchovy lemon butter so it melts over the hot meat.
Chef tips
If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the anchovy amount by half. Let the meat rest before slicing to keep its juices. Radishes become sweeter when roasted, so do not skip them.
Substitutions
You can use strip steak, entrecôte, or loin steak instead of sirloin or ribeye. Parsley can be replaced with chives. If you do not have apple cider vinegar, use white wine vinegar. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based cooking butter alternative.
