NEW YORK STRIP STEAK WITH RED WINE MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Heat until the oil is very hot.
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Add the steaks to the skillet and sear the steaks on each side for 4 minutes for medium. Remove the steaks to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
• Lower the heat to medium and add the mushrooms, shallot, and thyme to the pan and saute until the mushrooms begin to brown and soften, about 5 minutes. You may need to add a bit more oil to the pan. Add the red wine and scrap the bottom of the pan to get the browned bits.
• Let the liquid reduce by half, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in 3 tablespoons butter to finish the sauce. Serve the steak with mushroom red wine sauce drizzled over the top.

NEW YORK STRIP STEAK WITH BRANDIED MUSHROOMS AND FRESH THYME

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until smoking. Sprinkle the steaks all over with salt and pepper. Put the steaks in the pan and cook, turning to brown all sides completely, until medium-rare, 8 to 10 minutes depending on how thick the steaks are. Remove the steaks to a platter with tongs and cover loosely with a tent of aluminum foil to keep the meat warm while you make the sauce.
• Put the saute pan back over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup olive oil. When the oil is smoking, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, about 10 minutes, until golden brown. Then add the thyme and garlic, and season well with salt and pepper. Toss a few more times to cook the garlic, then dump the mushrooms out onto a platter. Take the pan off the heat, add the brandy, and cook until almost evaporated. Add the cream and cook that down 2 to 3 minutes until reduced by about one-half and thickened. Return the mushrooms to the pan with whatever juices have collected on the platter and simmer the whole thing another 2 minutes until thickened again. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the steak thin against the grain. Taste the sauce for salt and pepper and serve.

PAN-SEARED STRIP STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of each steak with salt and pepper. Cook 2 steaks at a time for 1 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare. (Do not flip steaks more than once.) Add more oil if needed. Transfer to a plate. Cover, and let rest at least 5 minutes.
• Add mushrooms to drippings in skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add stock and juices from plate to skillet. Bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits. Stir in mustard, and simmer until sauce lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Pour sauce over steaks, and sprinkle with herbs.
