Shiitake And Wine Sauce Recipes

SHELL STEAK WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Rub both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, and savory. Heat butter and oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat; add garlic cloves and steaks. Lower heat to medium, and cook steaks 4 to 6 minutes on each side for medium rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board. Add mushrooms to the pan, raise heat to high, and saute for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer mushrooms to a small bowl.
• Discard garlic and fat from the pan. Add red wine and stock to the pan. Reduce over high heat, scraping bottom with a wooden spoon, until 1/2 cup of sauce remains. Combine with mushrooms.
• Cut beef crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and serve with mushroom sauce on the side.

FETTUCCINE WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place dried mushrooms in medium bowl. Add hot water and let soak until softened, about 30 minutes. Remove mushrooms from water, squeezing excess water back into bowl. Strain and reserve soaking liquid. Slice mushrooms, discarding stems.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until fat renders, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Pour off half of fat. Add shallots to bacon in skillet and sauté 1 minute. Add dried and fresh mushrooms and rosemary and sauté 3 minutes. Add stock and mushroom-soaking liquid. Boil until liquid is reduced to glaze, about 10 minutes. Add half and half and simmer until beginning to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Add pasta to large pot of boiling salted water. Cook until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, rewarm mushroom sauce over medium-low heat.
