Steak With Red Wine Butter Recipes

EASY GRILLED STEAK WITH RED WINE BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine the wine and shallot in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to about 2 tablespoons (it will have a thick, syrupy consistency). Let the red wine syrup cool, then stir into the softened butter with the rosemary and a few cracks of black pepper. Once fully incorporated, spoon the butter onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Fold the wrap over the butter and twist the ends to create a log of red wine butter. Place in the fridge until ready to use. Preheat a grill, stovetop grill pan, or cast-iron skillet. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and cook until medium-rare (about 8 minutes total for skirt and flank and 10 to 12 minutes for the sirloin and filet). Remove the steaks and slice a coin of the butter over the top of each.

NY STRIP STEAK WITH RED WINE-ROSEMARY BUTTER

Steps:

• For the red wine-rosemary butter: Place the wine and the rosemary sprig in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the wine has reduced to a syrup and measures approximately 2 tablespoons, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before removing and discarding the rosemary sprig. Place the butter, the chopped rosemary and the salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the wine syrup and process until fully integrated, about 1 minute. Set aside.
• For the strip steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, salt and garlic, and rub the mixture all over the steaks. Place the steaks on the grill and sear for 4 minutes without moving to form a golden brown crust. Flip the steaks and sear on the reverse side until crusty on the outside and medium-rare at the center, another 3 minutes. Remove the steaks to a plate and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drizzle about 1 teaspoon olive oil over the lemon halves and place them, cut side down, on the grill. Grill until charred and fragrant, 3 minutes.
• To serve: Transfer each steak to a plate and top with a dollop of red wine butter and a squeeze of the charred lemon.

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.

SHELL STEAKS WITH RED WINE BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the coriander seeds and peppercorns and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pull the pan from the heat and add the port and wine. Return the pan to the heat and, if cooking over a gas burner, tip the pan to let the alcohol ignite. (If cooking over electric or halogen, just keep cooking the mixture.) Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer briskly until syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Beat the remaining butter in a medium bowl with a handheld electric mixer or whisk until smooth and light. Add the reduced wine mixture, vinegar, parsley and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and beat until evenly mixed.
• Spread a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Mound the butter across the plastic wrap, about 2 inches from edge nearest you. Fold the bottom edge of the plastic wrap over the butter and roll it up to make a 1-inch-wide log. Twist the ends together in opposite directions (like a party favor) and refrigerate until firm.
• Prepare an outdoor grill with a high fire.
• Brush grill grate lightly with oil. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper, to taste. Grill 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meat reads 120 degrees F to 125 degrees F for rare; 125 degrees F to 130 degrees F for medium-rare; or 130 degrees F to 135 degrees F for medium. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve each steak topped with a 3/4-inch-thick slice of the wine butter.

SALMON STEAKS WITH RED-WINE BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine wine, shallots, juice, vinegar, tomato paste, and bay leaf in a 1- to 2-quart heavy saucepan and boil over moderately high heat until mixture is thick and jamlike and reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Transfer mixture to a small bowl set in a bowl of ice and cold water and stir until cold to the touch, about 5 minutes. Remove from ice water and stir in zest, butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper with a rubber spatula until incorporated.
• Preheat broiler. Line rack of a broiler pan with foil.
• Pat fish dry, then brush both sides with oil (2 tablespoons total) and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Broil fish about 5 inches from heat, turning over once, until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Top each steak with 1 to 2 tablespoons red-wine butter.
