GRILLED STEAK WITH WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE
2 medium sized New York Strip Steaks or Delmonico
Steaks
1 shallot, minced
2 Tbs. butter
¼ cup Red Wine
½ lb. assorted wild mushrooms, (morel, shitake,
oyster...whatever is available)
1 Tbs. flour
1 cup hot beef stock
Salt and Pepper to taste
Prepare Steaks: Preheat your grill until it’s really
hot. Season the steaks generously with coarse salt and
freshly ground pepper. The meat should be cooked approximately
3-4 minutes per side depending how you like your steaks.
When done, slice the steaks into 1/4 inch strips, fan
out on a warm plate and add your wild mushroom sauce.
Prepare Wild Mushroom Sauce:
Melt butter in a sauce pan and sauté shallots until
transparent, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add red wine,
preferably something you may be sipping while you are
preparing this meal. Add mushrooms and cook until tender
and wine has reduced to an essence. Sprinkle in flour
then add stock slowly while stirring. Simmer until the
sauce has thickened, approximately 8-10 minutes. Salt
and pepper to taste and serve over the steaks.
