Red Wine Reduction Steak Sauce Recipes

RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallot in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Pour wine into saucepan; cook, stirring regularly, until reduced in volume by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir beef broth with the wine. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir butter and Italian seasoning into the sauce; cook until butter is completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt.

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.

STEAK WITH RED WINE-SHALLOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Place the steak, standing up on the strip of fat, in the pan and hold it with tongs until the fat renders and the pan is slick, about 2 minutes.
• Place the steak flat in the pan and sear until deep brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until a thermometer inserted sideways into the thickest part registers 120 degrees for medium-rare, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Reserve the drippings in the skillet.
• Add the shallot to the drippings and cook over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, about 7 minutes; remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to make a glossy sauce. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper or season to taste. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the sauce.

RED WINE REDUCTION STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir the yellow and red onion, shallots, garlic, tomato, carrots, and mushrooms until the onions are translucent and the carrots have softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and 1 cup of Merlot, and bring to a boil, scraping and dissolving any browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat, and simmer until the vegetables are very soft and the pan juices have reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
• Strain out and discard the vegetables from the sauce. Return the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, stir in 1/4 cup of Merlot wine, and reduce heat. Simmer the sauce until it is reduced to 1/4 of its original volume, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.

CLASSIC FRENCH BORDELAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small saucepan, place the red wine, shallots, thyme, and bay leaf and set over medium heat.
• Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and continue to cook to reduce the contents to half of the original volume.
• Add the beef stock to the pan and bring the mixture up to a boil again.
• Using a tablespoon, skim and discard any foam that appears on top of the sauce.
• Continue cooking the Bordelaise by another 50% or until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon-otherwise known as having a nappe consistency. In total, the Bordelaise should have reduced by 75% of its original volume by now.
• Pour the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste. Use on grilled steak or slow-roasted beef and enjoy.

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.

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.

STEAK WITH RED WINE COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Begin by heating the red wine on medium high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce it to low. Let the wine reduce down so the flavor is concentrated. This should take about 10 minutes or so. Allow it to cool an additional 10 minutes before adding to the butter mixture.
• In a bowl, combine the other ingredients and then using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or food processor incorporate the red wine. I do not recommend mixing the wine in by hand or it could leave a small amount of residue (some remaining liquid on the top).
• Place the butter mixture onto a rectangle of parchment or plastic wrap. Roll into a log and twist the sides closed. Freeze for 30 minutes or until needed.
• Prepare your steak as desired and remove from the heat. Add a pad of the red wine compound butter over the top of the meat while it rests, lightly tented with foil and then serve.

STEAK WITH RED WINE, MUSHROOM REDUCTION

Steps:

• Rub both sides of the steak with salt, pepper, and savory. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add garlic cloves and steak. Cook steak 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board. If you would like them cooked through a bit longer, cover with aluminum foil, they will continue to cook. Add mushrooms to the pan, leave heat on medium, and sauté until tender. Transfer mushrooms to a small bowl.
• Discard garlic 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.
• serve beef with mushroom sauce on the side.
