Garlic Rubbed Steak With Cabernet Shallot Butter Recipes

CHARRED GARLIC RUBBED RIB STEAK

Steps:

• Combine the oil, salt, pepper, dry thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Using this dry rub to season the beef, brush or rub the steaks with this seasoning mix and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Over a hot barbecue grill, or under an oven broiler that has been preheated for at least 20 minutes, cook the steaks on both sides to the desired doneness. Generally, a steak of this size, cooked over a barbecue grill, will be mediumrare within about 8 to 10 minutes (4 minutes on each side) with a blackened exterior and a warm pink interior. Check for doneness by pressing gently with a cautious finger.

GARLIC-RUBBED STEAK WITH CABERNET SHALLOT BUTTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook Tip: The quality of the steak matters in this dish. Chef Foshee uses naturally raised Niman Ranch beef, which is worth seeking for.
• Steak Rub garlic marinade (see recipe) over steaks and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Meanwhile, prepare cabernet shallot butter (see recipe) and set aside. Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry. Preheat a wood or charcoal grill. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and grill to desired doneness. Top each steak with a dollop of cabernet shallot butter. Serve with truffled mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, such as roasted carrots, wilted spinach, or sauteed mushrooms. Garlic Marinade: Combine garlic, 1 tbsp. of thyme, parsley, bay leaves, chili flakes, and half the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Add remaining olive oil and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Marinade will keep well refrigerated for up to two weeks. Cabernet Shallot Butter: Combine shallots and wine in a small saucepan and reduce over medium heat until syrupy. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. In a small bowl, beat together softened butter, wine mixture, 1 tbsp. of thyme, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside until ready to serve. The butter mixture will keep, refrigerated, for up to two weeks. Bring to room temperature before serving.

SKILLET SEARED STEAK WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Let steaks rest at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat (you want to let it get hot oil should be shimmering near smoking, preheating should take about 3 minutes if using a gas stove, longer for electric).
• Dab both sides of steak dry with paper towels then season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place steaks in skillet and using metal tongs press down over top surface of steaks to ensure the entire bottom surface is making direct contact with skillet.
• Let cook until browned on bottom, about 3 minutes.
• Flip and continue to cook until steak is about 10 degrees away from desired doneness, approximately 3 minutes longer.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter, garlic and thyme.
• Using an oven mitt grasp pan and tilt pan so butter pools to one side, spoon butter over steaks and continue to cook until steaks registers desired doneness (see notes below for temps, keep in mind they'll rise about 5 more degrees of heat), about 1 minute longer.
• Transfer to plates. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

FILET MIGNON WITH CABERNET SHALLOT GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat a large pan, on medium - high heat. When drops of water sizzle, the pan is hot enough.
• Add the olive oil.
• Wait a few seconds until the olive oil is heated, but not longer or else the oil will burn.
• Place the filets in the pan and allow to sizzle in the olive oil. (This high heat is important to sear the sides and lock in juices and flavors.).
• Sprinkle half of the coarse salt and half of the pepper (adjust according to your preference) on the first side.
• After a couple of minutes, you should notice the bottom of the steaks to be nicely seared.
• Flip over the steaks, and sprinkle the rest of the coarse salt and pepper.
• Wait a couple of minutes so that side is seared also.
• Turn heat slightly below medium.
• While occasionally turning steaks, cook to desired doneness. (I personally recommend medium rare. Cut a small slit in the thinnest steak to check for doneness).
• As each steak cooks, remove it from the pan and set aside on a large plate.
• When all steaks are removed from pan, turn the heat back up to medium high.
• Deglaze the pan with the Cabernet wine. It should sizzle and meld with the beef drippings.
• Add the chopped shallots. If using mushrooms, add them here.
• Rub the sprigs of thyme together so that the small leaves fall off into the pan.
• Add the regular salt, and additional freshly ground pepper if desired.
• Simmer for a minute or two until ingredients are mixed together nicely and shallots are slightly translucent (they are best when still a bit crunchy).
• On your plate of steaks should be drippings that have collected since removing it from the heat. Press a spatula against the steaks to squeeze a bit more juice, and pour all of the liquid into the pan.
• Simmer a minute more, and pour all of the glaze into a serving dish such as a gravy boat or small pitcher.
• Serve steaks and pour a bit of glaze over each one.
• The leftover glaze is best enjoyed with good crusty bread to sop it up. Enjoy!
