Shallot Butter Pan Sauce For Steak Recipes

STEAK WITH SHALLOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Generously season both sides of shell steaks with coarse salt and ground pepper. Cook steaks until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil, and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium; add 6 shallots, thinly sliced into rings. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Add balsamic vinegar, coarsely chopped fresh parsley, and any accumulated juices from steaks; cook until sauce is just slightly reduced, about 1 minute. To serve, spoon shallot sauce over steaks.

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.

SHALLOT BUTTER PAN SAUCE FOR STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Set your stove top to medium-high heat.
• 2. In the same cast iron pan you seared off your steak; deglaze pan with white wine. Let wine reduce for 1 minute.
• 3. Add shallots and garlic. Let reduce for 2 minutes.
• 4. Add butter and stir for 3 minutes or so.
• 5. Add cream and let reduce to desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.

BROILED STEAK WITH SHALLOT BUTTER

Steps:

• Rub the steaks on both sides with oil.
• Heat the broiler until it is glowing.
• Broil the steaks until just cooked to the point that you prefer, turning 2-3 times.
• Melt the butter in a small frying pan, add the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, the shallots, salt and pepper.
• Heat through, without cooking the shallots, mix in the parsley and keep on one side.
• Put the steaks onto a heated dish and pour some of the shallot butter over each, when it will mingle with the juices.
• Serve at once with your favourite side dishes.

CLASSIC SHALLOT BUTTER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Peel and finely chop the shallot. You should end up with about 3 tablespoons in total.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, soften up the butter for a couple of minutes on low speed.
• Add the lemon juice and chopped shallot to the butter and continue mixing until the shallots are fully incorporated.
• Spread out a large (1-foot or bigger) square of plastic wrap across your work surface, then scoop the mixed butter onto the plastic. You are now going to roll the butter into a cylinder inside the plastic wrap.
• Tie the excess plastic wrap at the ends of the cylinder into a knot, or just use little pieces of string to tie off the ends. You can even make a string out of a short section of plastic wrap and roll it into a little rope.
• Chill or freeze until needed.

PAN-SEARED STEAKS WITH SHALLOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Heat medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook about 4 minutes per side for rare; transfer to plates. Add remaining ingredients to skillet. Boil until sauce thickens, scraping up any browned bits, about 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over steaks.

HANGER STEAK WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed sauté pan or skillet over high heat, then add the oil. When the oil is hot, season the steaks with salt and pepper, slip them into the pan, and brown evenly, turning as needed, until they're done the way you like them-6 minutes total will give you a medium-rare steak (remember, the steaks will continue cooking while they rest); cook the steaks a minute longer for medium and 2 to 3 minutes longer for well-done. Transfer the steaks to a heated serving dish and set them aside in a warm place while you make the shallots.
• Place the pan you used to cook the steaks over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the shallots. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 mintues, until the shallots are softened but not colored. Add the vinegar and cook until it evaporates, then add the wine. Bring the wine to the boil and allow it to cook down until it is reduced by half. Pull the pan from the heat and swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then stir in the chopped parsley.
• To serve: Cut each steak on the bias into thin slices and, for each serving, fan the slices out on a warm dinner plate. Drizzle the warm shallot sauce over the meat and serve immediately.
