Chef Curtis Stone serves up a buttery red wine sauce to top off pan-seared steaks — using the same pan to maximize flavor.
Ingredients
- Two 10-ounce beef steaks
- Salt and pepper
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup dry red wine
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 2 tablespoons butter
Yield
Serves: 4
Preparation
Season steaks generously with salt and black pepper. Heat large frying pan over high heat. Add oil, then steaks and cook until browned and the internal temperature reaches 120˚F, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to carving board to rest.
Return pan to medium-high heat. Add wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add beef stock and simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes more. Remove pan from heat and whisk in butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve steak with the red wine sauce.
