  2. Rub the bone with fresh butter and season the steaks with chopped parsley, thyme, eschalots, pepper, coarse sea salt, and lemon juice.

  3. Cook the chops until nearly done, then place them on a dish with the cooking juices.

  4. Once cool, dip the chops in egg, coat with breadcrumbs, and broil gently.

  5. Serve the cutlets arranged around a sauce made with cullis, a little ketchup, lemon pickle, and artichoke bottoms.
