Pan-Seared Beef
Strip Steak with Wild Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients
Olive oil for
brushing
4 12 oz. bone-in
beef strip steaks
salt and freshly
ground pepper
1 teaspoon chopped
garlic
1 1/2 lbs. mixed
wild mushrooms (chanterelle, oyster, shitake, baby portobellos, etc.)
1 tablespoon finely
chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons
chopped parsley
1/2 cup beef or
veal stock
1/4 cup dry red
wine
3 tablespoons
unsalted butter
Brush each side of steak with olive oil and sprinkle with
salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for 2
minutes on each side until nicely browned. Reduce the heat to medium-high and
continue cooking for a total of about 12 minutes, turning the steaks again about
half way through. Check the internal temperature of the steaks. An instant-read
thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak should register 140 F
for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
Remove all but two tablespoons of the fat from the skillet.
Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the mushrooms,
stirring until they begin to take on some color and soften slightly. Remove the
mushrooms and reserve.
Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and heat until bubbly. Then,
add the wine, stock and herbs, cooking, scrapping up all the browned bits and
stirring until the mixture is reduced by about 1/3, about 3-4 minutes. Turn the
heat to low and add the mushroom-garlic mixture back into the skillet. Swirl in
the remaining two tablespoons of butter until completely incorporated. Check the
seasoning. Add salt or pepper to taste, if required.
Place the steaks on a platter and pour the sauce over them.
Sprinkle with more chopped parsley and serve immediately.
