How to Make Faux Filets Au Beurre D Anchois Steak With Anchovy Butter

Rinse and pat dry the drained anchovy fillets.
In a food processor or blender, combine the anchovies and softened butter. Process until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender.
Set aside the anchovy butter.
Steam broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling salted water for 3-6 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Preheat your broiler. Meanwhile, prepare your potatoes and mushrooms for roasting (Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast at 400F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender).
Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until very hot.
Sear the steaks for 1 minute per side to create a crust.
Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet.
Spread 2/3 of the anchovy butter evenly over the steaks.
Broil the steaks for 3 minutes for medium-rare, or longer according to your preference, watching closely to avoid burning.
Remove from broiler and let the steaks rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While steaks rest, place the baking sheet over two burners set to medium-high heat. Melt the remaining anchovy butter in the pan, stirring and scraping to incorporate any fond (brown bits).
Cut the rested steaks into thin slices.
Add the pan juices from the steaks to the melted anchovy butter.
Toss half of the butter mixture with the sliced steaks.
Toss the steamed broccoli with the remaining anchovy butter.
Serve the steaks immediately with the broccoli, roasted potatoes, mushrooms and frisée salad.
