• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Cold unsalted butter

How to make Steak & Cheddar Scones with Chive Butter

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Pat the diced 8 oz sirloin steak dry. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak pieces for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
4. Add the 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
5. Gently fold in the 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and the cooled diced steak. Pour in the 3/4 cup whole milk and mix with a fork until just combined and a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this will result in tough scones.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough into an 8-inch round about 3/4 inch thick. Cut the round into 6-8 wedges using a sharp knife or bench scraper.
7. Arrange the scones on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk the 1 large egg with 1 teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the scones evenly with the egg wash.
8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through. A wooden skewer inserted into the center should come out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
9. While the scones bake, prepare the chive butter: In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well with a fork until thoroughly combined.
10. Serve the warm steak and cheddar scones immediately with a generous dollop of the homemade chive butter.
