STEAK WITH RED WINE-SHALLOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Place the steak, standing up on the strip of fat, in the pan and hold it with tongs until the fat renders and the pan is slick, about 2 minutes.
• Place the steak flat in the pan and sear until deep brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until a thermometer inserted sideways into the thickest part registers 120 degrees for medium-rare, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Reserve the drippings in the skillet.
• Add the shallot to the drippings and cook over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, about 7 minutes; remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to make a glossy sauce. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper or season to taste. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the sauce.

STEAK SALAD WITH SHALLOTS AND RED WINE

Steps:

• Stir together salt, pepper, and cumin in a small bowl. Pat steaks dry and sprinkle spice mixture evenly on both sides, rubbing to adhere.
• Heat oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook steaks, turning over once, until thermometer inserted horizontally registers 115°F, about 12 minutes total.
• Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes. (Beef will continue to cook as it stands.) Add shallots to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until just softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine, vinegar, and brown sugar and cook 3 minutes. Add butter and cook, whisking constantly, until butter is incorporated and sauce is slightly thickened. Pour any meat juices accumulated on cutting board into sauce.
• Cut steaks into 1/4-inch slices and serve over escarole. Spoon shallots and sauce over steak.

CLASSIC ENTRECOTE BORDELAISE - STEAK IN RED WINE WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Sauté the steaks.
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the pan to smoking point and add half the butter. Place the steak in the pan and brown it on both sides - give it about two to three minutes on each side to seal it first, then let the meat cook through to your taste. Do both steaks in this way and then set them aside.
• Cook the shallots.
• In the same pan, (drain excess butter if needed), cook the shallots. Put them in the pan and stir from time to time until they are soft and starting to turn golden.
• Deglaze the pan.
• When the shallots are done add the red wine to the pan and give it a good stir.
• Now, add the demi glace or beef stock to the pan and stir until everything is blended, then leave it to simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced.
• Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and add them to the sauce one at a time, mixing so that they melt into the mixture: this will give the sauce a rich flavour and give it an appetising glossy finish,.
• Plate the dish.
• Cut the meat across the grain into thick slices and arrange them on a plate.
• Add some chopped parsley to the sauce, then pour little of the sauce over each steak.
• Serve the rest of the sauce in a gravy boat.
• You might like to serve it with sauté potatoes, frites and some haricot verts.

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.

HANGER STEAK WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed sauté pan or skillet over high heat, then add the oil. When the oil is hot, season the steaks with salt and pepper, slip them into the pan, and brown evenly, turning as needed, until they're done the way you like them-6 minutes total will give you a medium-rare steak (remember, the steaks will continue cooking while they rest); cook the steaks a minute longer for medium and 2 to 3 minutes longer for well-done. Transfer the steaks to a heated serving dish and set them aside in a warm place while you make the shallots.
• Place the pan you used to cook the steaks over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the shallots. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 mintues, until the shallots are softened but not colored. Add the vinegar and cook until it evaporates, then add the wine. Bring the wine to the boil and allow it to cook down until it is reduced by half. Pull the pan from the heat and swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then stir in the chopped parsley.
• To serve: Cut each steak on the bias into thin slices and, for each serving, fan the slices out on a warm dinner plate. Drizzle the warm shallot sauce over the meat and serve immediately.

SEARED STEAK WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the peppercorns and juniper berries in a spice mill or coffee grinder. Grind until smooth. Dust the steak with the spice mixture. Refrigerate.
• Brush the shallots with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Place them in a small roasting pan. Set aside. Using a sharp paring knife, shape the potatoes into rounded ovals. Brush with 1 teaspoon oil and add to the shallots. Roast until shallots and potatoes are tender and golden, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a large, cast-iron skillet until hot. Add the steak and cook over medium heat until medium rare, about 5 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and set aside for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pour the wine into the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup. Add the broth and continue simmering until reduced to 1 cup. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve. Set aside.
• Cut the steak into thin slices, crosswise. Divide the shallots and roasted potatoes in the center of 4 plates. Drape equal slices of meat over the vegetables. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of the sauce. Serve immediately.
