SEARED FLAT-IRON STEAKS WITH WINE SAUCE

Because flat-iron steaks are well marbled, there's no need to add oil to the skillet. When cooked up to medium, they remain tender and juicy. Our stir-together mustard sauce is another delicious accompaniment.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 small flat-iron steaks (each about 6 ounces and 1 inch thick)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup dry red wine, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high until very hot. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Add to skillet; sear 4 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare (if browning too quickly, reduce heat after turning steaks). Transfer steaks to a plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil (reserve skillet).
  • Add wine to skillet; simmer over medium-high, stirring occasionally and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until syrupy, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Stirring constantly, drop butter into sauce, one piece at a time, waiting for each piece to blend in before adding the next. Season with salt and pepper. Serve steaks drizzled with sauce.

FLAT IRON STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE



Flat Iron Steak with Red Wine Sauce image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (1-pound) flat iron steaks or tri-tip steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for garnish
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 1/2 cups dry red wine

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill or barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Thinly slice the steaks across the grain. Divide the steak slices among 6 plates. Drizzle the sauce over the steak, drizzle a little more extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE



Pan-Seared Steak With Red Wine Sauce image

You can use any cut of steak, either bone-in or boneless, to make this classic French bistro dish. Steaks cut from the tenderloin, such as filet mignon, are the most tender pieces of beef, though they lack the assertively beefy chew of sirloins and rib steaks. Adding brandy to the pan sauce not only contributes flavor; its high alcohol content and acidity help extract flavor from the pan drippings. However, if setting it on fire makes you nervous, skip that step and let the brandy simmer down for an extra few minutes to cook off most of the alcohol. Make sure to open a good bottle of red wine to use in the sauce here, preferably one that you're happy to finish off with dinner. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt, as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
1 1/2 pounds boneless steak, or 1 3/4 pounds bone-in steak (1 1/2 inches thick)
2 shallots
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed
2 tablespoons good brandy, preferably Cognac
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup beef or chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Watercress, for serving

Steps:

  • Generously sprinkle salt and pepper all over steaks, then let steaks rest uncovered for 15 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, mince the shallots.
  • Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add steaks and cook until done to taste, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare and a little longer for medium-rare or medium. (Bone-in steaks take a few minutes longer to cook through than boneless.) If the pan begins to smoke or burn, lower the heat. Transfer steaks to a plate to rest while you prepare the sauce.
  • Add shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add brandy to the skillet and use a long-handled match or igniter to set the brandy on fire. (Stand back when you do this.) Let flames die out, then add red wine and cook until reduced and syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add stock and boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
  • Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the chives. Serve steaks and sauce immediately with watercress.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 1/2-pound) flat iron steak
1 cup beef broth
1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon (recommended: BV Napa Cabernet)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon grill seasoning
1 shallot, diced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Take the steak out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before you are ready to cook it so that it can come to room temperature. This will help it cook more evenly.

  • Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot. Season the steak with the grill seasoning and put it in the skillet. Cook about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove it from the pan, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes while you finish the sauce.
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the shallots. Cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the reduced broth and wine mixture and cook until thickened, about for about 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and cook until the butter is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices, arrange them on a serving platter and serve with the sauce on the side or poured over top.

FLAT IRON STEAK WITH CABERNET SAUCE



Flat Iron Steak With Cabernet Sauce image

I use a 1 3/4 pound of flat iron steak. I cooked it on for 4 minutes on each side and it came out rare. I do like my steak rare. My sister thought it was good but much better the next day, since it was medium rare after heating up. This is an easy recipe to make, however, next time I will add a little corn starch to the sauce to thicken it up a bit.

EASY FLAT IRON STEAK IN WINE SAUCE



Easy Flat Iron Steak in Wine Sauce image

Thanks to Jackie B. from Allrecipes.com for the base recipe. I have tweeked this version and it is sublime.

Provided by Leanne Runnals @travlnsolo

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large beef flat iron (or skirt) steak cut into 4 steaks
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil (for spice paste rub)
1/8 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper (don't be afraid it'll be too
1 teaspoon(s) cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon(s) paprika, sweet mild
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
3 tablespoon(s) olive oil (for searing steaks)
1/2 cup(s) burgundy wine
1 cup(s) canned mushrooms (or fresh sauted)
1 teaspoon(s) balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon(s) butter
1/2 teaspoon(s) kitchen bouquet (for a browner sauce)

Steps:

  • Allow the steaks to come to room temperature (important)
  • Wisk 2 T olive oil, cayenne pepper, paprika, pepper, salt, mustard powder, and garlic powder.
  • Prick steaks with a fork and rub them well with the paste. Let sit for 30 miniutes.
  • Heat your cast iron skillet med. hot and add the remaining 3 T of olive oil. When smoking, add 2 of the 4 steaks (all 4 if your skillet is large enough). Sear to desired doneness without burning the spices (turn down and cover if need be). I prefer a med steak instead of Jackie B.'s recommended rare.
  • Remove steaks from skillet with tongs and let rest.
  • add red wine, balsamic vinegar, and kitchen bouquet to skillet. Stir in mushrooms. Simmer until all is reduced somewhat, and hot.
  • Turn off heat and add butter.
  • Serve steaks with sauce over the top, some crusty bread, a small baked potato, and veggie of your choice if desired.
  • Serve with burgundy wine in your goblet.

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality flat iron steak. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
  • Make sure your steak is properly seasoned. A simple salt and pepper rub is all you need.
  • Sear the steak over high heat to create a nice crust. This will help to lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness. A medium-rare steak will be pink in the center and still have some juices running out.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Flat iron steak is a delicious and affordable cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. This recipe for flat iron steak in wine sauce is a great way to enjoy this versatile steak. The steak is seared over high heat and then simmered in a rich wine sauce until it is tender and flavorful. Serve the steak with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
