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.

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.

2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 sprigs Mexican oregano
4 tuna steaks, 6 ounces each
Salt and pepper
Spinach-Tomatillo Rice Cake, recipe follows
Ancho Chile Red Wine Sauce, recipe follows
6 to 8 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons unsalted cold butter, plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for sauteing
1 pound spinach, blanched, squeezed dry and finely chopped
Tomatillo Sauce, recipe follows
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup flour
6 tomatillos, husked and scrubbed
6 cloves garlic
1 onion, quartered
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chipotle pepper puree
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons honey
2 ancho chilies, soaked until soft, seeded and pureed
3 cups dry red wine
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk together ancho puree, garlic, fennel, allspice, orange juice, honey, olive oil, and oregano in a medium-baking dish. Add the tuna and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, covered.
  • Heat grill pan over high heat. Remove tuna from marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste on both sides. Sear on 1 side until golden brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn over and cook for 1 minute for medium-rare doneness.
  • Place two Spinach-Tomatillo Rice Cakes onto a plate. Prop a tuna steak on top of the cakes at an angle. Drizzle the plate with the Ancho Chile Red Wine Sauce.
  • Place water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Heat olive oil in a medium high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir to coat. Add 2 cups of the hot water and stir until evaporated. Repeat with the remaining water until the rice is al dente. Stir in the cheese and butter until combined. Stir in the spinach and tomatillo sauce, season with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly out onto a sheet pan, cover and place in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Remove the risotto from the refrigerator and cut out 8 (2-inch) circles. Place the flour onto a plate and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the risotto circles on both sides in the flour and tap of the excess. Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Saute the cakes until golden brown on both sides. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place tomatillos, garlic, and onions on a medium baking sheet, toss with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until all vegetables are soft, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Place roasted vegetables and remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Combine ancho puree and wine in a small saucepan and cook until reduced by half. Add the mixture to a blender with the vinegar and honey, blend until smooth and season with salt and pepper, to taste. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Re-season, if needed.

Salt and pepper
2 shallots
Small bunch tarragon
2 to 3 sprigs parsley

SICILIAN TUNA STEAKS IN ONION SAUCE



Sicilian Tuna Steaks in Onion Sauce image

I found this recipe somewhere on the 'net, and it is reported to be a classic dish of the islands off the western coast of Sicily. The onions have a decidedly sweet/sour taste which we love, and that would be super as well on a swordfish steak.

Provided by FlemishMinx

Categories     Tuna

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 lb onion, as thinly sliced as possible
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 dash cayenne pepper or 1 dash Tabasco sauce
4 tuna steaks
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • SAUCE:.
  • Saute the onions in olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
  • Add salt and cook, stirring until they are limp.
  • Stir in vinegar and sugar, and cook over a slightly lower heat until the vinegar has evaporated.
  • I caution you, the escaping steam will take your breath away so stay well away from the skillet when possible, but do perservere!
  • When vinegar has evaporated, add cayenne or tabasco, mix well and remove from heat.
  • The sauce should still retain the texture of the onions and yet retain enough moisture to be spoonable.
  • Cover and keep warm.
  • TUNA:.
  • Over medium heat, add olive oil and bay leaves to a skillet large enough to hold tuna steaks in one layer.
  • When the oil is warm, not hot, add tuna and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Saute 2-3 minutes per side, but this will depend on thickness of steaks and your doneness preference-- we like ours on the rare side.
  • Raise heat, add wine, and cover pan a second or two, just until the wine has stopped steaming.
  • Uncover skillet, cook 30 seconds longer, then transfer tuna to plates.
  • Spoon the onions and sauce over the top of each, and serve.
