步驟

Rub the steak with the oil, garlic and bay leaves and set aside for 1 hour at room temperature. In the meantime, dice the onion and fry in a knob of butter until caramelised

Blitz the onion mixture in a food processor with the white wine to create a purée and reserve. In a frying pan, melt the remaining knob of butter and fry the steaks over high heat for 2 minutes each side

Remove the steaks from the heat, season with salt and pepper and set aside to rest

Add the bacon to the pan and fry until golden. Add the onion purée and fry for a little longer

Return the beef to the pan and add the cream and pink peppercorns, stirring until the sauce begins to bubble

Mix in the coffee, chocolate and thyme, stirring until it reaches simmering point. Serve immediately
