Steak with Curried Shallot-Butter Sauce

In Paris, Le Relais de Venise L’Entrecôte is a cult-favorite restaurant. The only savory item on their menu is steak frites, which is served with a salad, and they offer a refill when you finish. Their sauce recipe remains a closely guarded secret, but we’ve used its flavor profile as loose inspiration for this easy yet elegant dinner. Dijon adds acidity and brightness, and helps the sauce emulsify to stay silky-smooth. We also include French-style vadouvan curry powder. Its savory-sweet notes pair perfectly with white wine, shallots and butter, but any curry powder will work.
