20 Jun Dry Aged T-Bone Steak with Red Wine and Dried Olive Butter

Ask your butcher for the best cuts of dry aged T-bone he can find and have hom slice it thick! Dry aged meat really brings out the character of the meat as all the extra moisture in the meat has evaporated and the flavour condensed. I fry this steak simply in little olive oil and bay leaves and serve it with a delicious dried olive and red wine butter with some roasted sweet potato, aubergines and brown mushrooms. I love the deep dark flavour combinations and it is excellently suited to the Dr. Charles Niehaus Roodeberg Red
