MOOSE STEAK WITH SAUTéED MUSHROOMS AND RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking them, and let them come to room temperature. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and massage them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced shallot, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until just starting to caramelize.
• Stir in the wine and coarsely ground pepper, and bring to a low boil. Let the wine boil down until it is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the beef stock and bring it to a low boil, letting it reduce half again, about 10 more minutes. The sauce should now be shiny with a deep rich brown color. Take the saucepan off the heat. You can prepare the sauce ahead of time and then rewarm it when you're ready to serve the steaks.
• Preheat the oven to 450 F. Melt another 1 tablespoon of the butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add the sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and sauté them until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the moose steaks and brown both sides, 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and roast the steaks for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steaks, to medium-rare. Take care to not overcook, as the meat easily dries out.
• Take the skillet out of the oven and pour the cooking juices from the steaks into the sauce. Rewarm the sauce over low heat, and whisk in the 2 remaining tablespoons butter, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce takes on a satiny sheen.
• To serve, scatter some mushrooms over each moose steak, and drizzle the sauce on top and around each steak. Enjoy.
