The act of deglazingusing a liquid to release pan drippingsis the tried-and-true trick to getting a quick, flavorful sauce. The soy in this recipe melds wonderfully with the wine and adds a certain depth. Ingredients:
4 (1/2-inch-thick) boneless rib-eye steaks (2 pounds total) |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
3/4 cup dry red wine |
1/4 cup water |
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 3 pieces |
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley |
Directions:
1. Pat steaks dry, then sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (total). 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. |
