Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, cracked
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, cracked
1/2 cup ruby port
1/2 cup red wine
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
Vegetable oil, for grill
4 (10 to 12-ounce) shell steaks (also called club steak or New York steak), about 1 1/4 inches thick
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the coriander seeds and peppercorns and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pull the pan from the heat and add the port and wine. Return the pan to the heat and, if cooking over a gas burner, tip the pan to let the alcohol ignite. (If cooking over electric or halogen, just keep cooking the mixture.) Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer briskly until syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Beat the remaining butter in a medium bowl with a handheld electric mixer or whisk until smooth and light. Add the reduced wine mixture, vinegar, parsley and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and beat until evenly mixed.
  • Spread a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Mound the butter across the plastic wrap, about 2 inches from edge nearest you. Fold the bottom edge of the plastic wrap over the butter and roll it up to make a 1-inch-wide log. Twist the ends together in opposite directions (like a party favor) and refrigerate until firm.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill with a high fire.
  • Brush grill grate lightly with oil. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper, to taste. Grill 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meat reads 120 degrees F to 125 degrees F for rare; 125 degrees F to 130 degrees F for medium-rare; or 130 degrees F to 135 degrees F for medium. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve each steak topped with a 3/4-inch-thick slice of the wine butter.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe did not turn out well for me. I followed the instructions exactly, but the steaks were dry and the sauce was curdled.

This recipe was a disaster! The steaks were tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I had trouble finding shell steaks at my local grocery store. I ended up using flank steak instead.

I thought the sauce was a bit too salty. I would recommend using less salt.

I found that the steaks were a little overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The red wine, butter, and shallots complement each other perfectly.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The steaks were cooked to perfection and the red wine butter sauce was divine. I will definitely be making this again.
