Steak Sourdough with Bearnaise, Burnt Onions and Bone Marrow Gravy by Lance Pollock of Chop House in Edinburgh
Chop House serves the best of British beef, butchered in house & cooked over an open flame charcoal grill. One of our popular dishes is the steak sourdough.
The most important thing in this recipe is selecting great ingredients - dry aged Scotch beef & real sourdough make this a stand out sandwich and are complemented by the richness of béarnaise and gravy.
Be warned, you'll need an extra napkin. At Chop House we cook the steak on our grill but this recipe works perfectly on a BBQ.

3. Next lightly chargrill the slices of sourdough and set aside.

5. Cook over open flame on the BBQ till medium rare. If you don't have a BBQ you can sear the steak in a hot pan till medium rare.
6. Warm the gravy with the burnt onions and pour over one slice of the grilled sourdough.
7. Thinly slice the fillet and stack onto the gravy covered slice of sourdough then spoon on the béarnaise.
