• 2 bay leaves
• 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup red wine
• 100 g butter, softened to room temperature
• 1/2 stick celery, finely chopped
• 2 green onions, chopped finely
• 1 teaspoon capers, chopped
• 1 tablespoon horseradish (i did quite a generous one)
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Recipe

• 1 butter.
• 2 combine all butter ingredients in a bowl, make sure you mix well.
• 3 spoon butter into some foil, roll butter to form a log shape, twist ends of foil so you have what looks like a mini christmas cracker.
• 4 refrigerate until firm.
• 5 steaks.
• 6 combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add steaks, cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
• 7 remove steaks, discard marinade, grill, bbq or pan fry steaks until cooked as desired. allow steaks to rest before serving.
• 8 note: i slice the butter and place it on top of steaks while they are resting on a board so they are still hot enough to start to melt the butter.
• 9 serve steaks topped with a slice of butter and mash or roasted potatoes and fresh vegetables.
