A steakhouse-quality ribeye chop glazed in a deep, smoky bordelaise and topped with crispy leeks - approachable luxury from Bristol Farms and Campo Grande.
Why You'll Love Ribeye Chop with Charred Shallot - Bordelaise & Crispy Leeks❤️
This is the kind of steak dinner that makes you cancel the restaurant reservation. The ribeye gets a hard sear in cast iron, then the same pan builds the sauce - charred shallots, red wine, beef stock, and a swirl of cold butter to bring it all together. Campo Grande's chorizo fat folded into the base adds a layer of smoky depth you won't get from a standard bordelaise. The crispy leeks on top aren't just garnish - they add texture and lift that cuts through every rich bite.
Tips and Tricks
- Rest steak at least 10 minutes before slicing for juicy results.
- Use a wine you'd actually drink - it concentrates in flavor.
- Slice leeks uniformly for even crisping.
Variations
- Substitute New York strip or filet mignon.
- Add roasted mushrooms to the sauce.
- Replace bordelaise with peppercorn cream.
Substitutions
- Beef stock → chicken stock.
- Red wine → port for a sweeter note.
- Leeks → onions for a similar crisp topping.
How to Store Leftovers
Store steak and sauce separately for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently with a splash of stock or butter.
