Pan Seared Steaks With Herb Sauce Recipes

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE

You can use any cut of steak, either bone-in or boneless, to make this classic French bistro dish. Steaks cut from the tenderloin, such as filet mignon, are the most tender pieces of beef, though they lack the assertively beefy chew of sirloins and rib steaks. Adding brandy to the pan sauce not only contributes flavor; its high alcohol content and acidity help extract flavor from the pan drippings. However, if setting it on fire makes you nervous, skip that step and let the brandy simmer down for an extra few minutes to cook off most of the alcohol. Make sure to open a good bottle of red wine to use in the sauce here, preferably one that you're happy to finish off with dinner. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

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.

Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the kosher salt and pepper. Set aside allowing the steaks to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet on medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and cook without moving or turning for 3 minutes. Flip the steaks over using tongs and immediately put the skillet in the preheated oven.
Cook until the steaks are firm to the touch, about 8-9 minutes for medium rare. You can check with an instant read thermometer to be sure. The steaks should be 130 degrees but will continue to increase in temperature by about 5 more degrees while resting. Remove from the oven and transfer the steaks to a warm plate. Tent with foil and keep in a warm location while preparing the sauce.
Return the cast iron skillet to the stove top set to low heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, about 1 minutes. Carefully add the red wine, if using, and bring to a boil. Cook and stir, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom, until the wine has mostly evaporated. Stir in the mustard and increase the heat to medium-high.
