Tastes of Italia recipe
Serves 4
What you need:
- 4 Sirloin or NY Strip steaks 1/2-3/4 inch thick
- Coarse Sea Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Coarsely Ground Fresh Black Pepper
- 1-2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Cup Cabernet Sauvignon Wine
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
What to do:
- Pat the steaks dry.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, pressing the pepper into the surface with your hands. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat, until skillet just starts to smoke.
- Carefully place steaks in skillet. Cook about 3 minutes on the first side then turn steaks over and cook the second side until deep brown, about 3 minutes for medium rare.
- To test for doneness, press meat with back of knife. If firm, meat is probably done.
- Transfer steaks to a platter and tent with foil.
- Pour fat out of skillet and add wine. Cook on medium heat for about 7 minutes or until wine reduces to about 1/4 cup. Scrape bits off bottom and whisk in butter.
- Drizzle sauce over steaks and serve. Serve with a nice tomato and arugula salad and your favorite bottle of wine. Enjoy!
