Rib Eye Steak With Red Wine Pastrami Sauce Recipes

RIBEYE STEAKS WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a sheet pan with foil and place a wire rack on top, set aside.
• Adjust oven rack to the center position and preheat to 275ºF (135ºC). Place a large 12-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to warm.
• Dry the steaks with a paper towel to remove excess surface moisture and transfer to the wire rack. Generously season the meat with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
• Place steaks in the oven and cook about 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness.
• Remove the steaks from the oven and set aside.
• Remove the cast iron pan from the oven and transfer to the stovetop.
• Heat pan over high heat and add the oil.
• Once the oil is very hot and just beginning to smoke, carefully add the steaks to the pan.
• Sear the first side until a deep brown crust is formed, about 2 minutes.
• Carefully flip the steaks over and sear about 1 ½ to 2 minutes.
• Use tongs to turn the steaks on their sides to cook and render remaining fat, about 2 minutes total.
• Add one tablespoon of the butter to the pan, melt and use a spoon to briefly baste the tops of the steaks.
• Transfer steaks to a clean plate and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• For the red wine sauce, reserve 1 tablespoon of the steak drippings in the cast iron pan and heat over medium.
• Once the drippings are warm add the garlic and shallots, saute and stir frequently until tender, about 1 minute.
• Add red wine, balsamic vinegar, rosemary sprig and thyme sprigs, bring mixture to a rapid simmer over high heat.
• Allow wine mixture to reduce until thickened, about ¼ a cup, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add in beef stock, and rapidly simmer over high heat until the sauce is reduced and thickened to about ½ cup, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove rosemary and thyme, discard.
• Turn off heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Taste the red wine sauce and season with more salt and pepper as desired.
• Garnish steaks with chopped thyme, rosemary, and parsley a few minutes before serving.

RIB-EYE STEAKS IN RED-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat steaks dry, then sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (total).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until it shimmers, then sauté steaks in 2 batches, turning once, about 4 minutes per batch for medium-rare. Transfer to a large plate and cover with foil.
• Pour off fat from skillet, then sauté garlic in remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Add wine and boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add water, soy sauce, and any meat juices from plate and boil until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, until slightly thickened. Stir in parsley and pour sauce over steaks.

RED WINE MARINATED RIBEYE STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk together all ingredients but the steak. Pour into a large ziplock bag. Add steaks and smoosh them around to coat. Allow the steak to marinate in the fridge for several hours. Mine went about 8, but I think you could do overnight.
• Allow steak to come back to room temperature so the meat cooks evenly. Grill on a charcoal grill to your desired doneness.

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.
