Cabernet Mushroom Sauce For Steak Recipes

FILET MIGNON WITH MUSHROOM-CABERNET GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper, gently place them into the hot skillet, and sear until well-browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a platter, tent with aluminum foil, and keep warm.
• Turn the heat down to medium, and melt the butter. Cook and stir the shallot and mushrooms in the butter until the mushrooms begin to give off their liquid and the shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, beef broth, and thyme, and simmer the sauce until it begins to reduce, 6 to 10 minutes. Return the steaks to the sauce, and simmer briefly until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes per side (for medium-rare.) An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to serving dishes.
• In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and water until it forms a smooth paste. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the pan sauce, and cook and stir until thickened, about 30 seconds. Top each serving with mushroom-wine sauce to serve.

FLAT IRON STEAK WITH CABERNET SAUCE

Steps:

• Take the steak out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before you are ready to cook it so that it can come to room temperature. This will help it cook more evenly.
• In a small pot over high heat, add the broth and wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot. Season the steak with the grill seasoning and put it in the skillet. Cook about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove it from the pan, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes while you finish the sauce.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the shallots. Cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the reduced broth and wine mixture and cook until thickened, about for about 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and cook until the butter is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices, arrange them on a serving platter and serve with the sauce on the side or poured over top.

MUSHROOM STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until it begins to soften and turn clear, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and salt; stir well and cook until mushrooms begin to release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Combine beef stock, wine, and Worcestershire sauce in a small measuring cup. Pour into the skillet and stir in thyme sprigs and pepper; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until liquid has reduced and sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
