• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms, garlic, and peppercorns, and saute until the mushrooms are tender.

TUSCAN PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH RED WINE-PEPPERCORN JUS

Steps:

• Let steak sit at room temperature 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°F.
• Pat steak dry and season both sides with peppercorns and kosher salt. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in skillet over medium heat until butter melts. Add rosemary, thyme, and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until herbs and garlic are fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add steak and cook until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 110°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes (or 120°F for medium, about 10 minutes).
• Transfer steak with tongs to a small platter, reserving skillet, and let rest 10 minutes.
• While steak rests, pour off oil from skillet, leaving garlic and herbs in skillet. Add wine and boil over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and any meat juices from platter and boil until reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until incorporated, then season with salt and keep warm.
• To carve: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut meat off both sides of the bone (you should have two solid pieces of steak). Thinly slice each piece, then rearrange the slices around the bone on a platter. Drizzle with the jus.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE

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.

T-BONE STEAKS WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Season steaks on both sides generously with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add 3 sprigs of fresh thyme on each side of the steaks and place inside vacuum-seal bags and seal.
• Place vacuum-sealed bags into a sous vide water bath with the temperature set to 129 degrees F (54 degrees C). Leave in water bath for 1 1/2 hours.
• Take steaks out, pat dry with paper towels, and remove, reserving sprigs of thyme.
• Heat a cast iron pan over high heat. Drizzle in avocado oil. Sear steaks for about 45 seconds per side. Drop 2 tablespoons butter and garlic into the pan while searing the second side, tilt the pan, and spoon butter on top of steak. Add remaining butter and sear the edges of the steak using tongs, about 45 seconds each.
• Remove steaks from the pan and add red wine, Worcestershire sauce, reserved sprigs of thyme, and broth. Let simmer until liquid has reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Strain liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Top steaks with red wine sauce and serve.

STEAKS IN RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the steaks with black pepper. Heat a large non-stick frying pan until really hot, and cook the steaks for 2-3 minutes, without moving them. Sprinkle with salt, turn over and cook for 2-3 minutes more; keep warm.
• Turn down the heat and fry the chopped shallots in the butter until softened, about 2 minutes. Pour in the red wine, add the thyme and reduce by two-thirds. Stir in the redcurrant jelly, mustard and salt and pepper. Return the steaks to the pan, heat through in the sauce and serve.
