Real Dutch steak (Hollandse biefstuk)

Traditional recipe from The Netherlands

For 4 people.

• 1 piece of 500g of very tender lean steak (fillet steak or tenderloin)
• salt
• pepper
• milk
• butter

Scrape (do not wash) the meat. Rub it with salt and pepper.

Melt butter in a frying pan. Add the meat when the 'skum' of the melting butter disappears and the butter is very hot.

Put the meat into the butter, do not use a fork but 2 spoons (the juice must be sealed into the meat) and sear the meat on one side, then on the other.

Take the meat out and keep the pan hot. Pour 1 tbsp of milk in the pan and let the gravy thicken a little. Pour over the meat.

Serve with home fried potatoes and a lettuce salad.
