Ground Sirloin Patties With Red Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix in sirloin, thyme, salt, and pepper. Shape meat into two 3/4-inch-thick patties. Coat patties with flour, shaking off excess.
• Melt 4 teaspoons butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer patties to 2 plates. Pour off any fat from skillet. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil until slightly thickened, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper; pour over patties.

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour and mustard. Add beef, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. , In a large skillet, brown beef in butter. Add consomme and wine. Stir in the mushrooms, onions and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Serve with linguine. Freeze option: Cool beef mixture. Freeze in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through slowly in a covered skillet until a thermometer inserted in beef reads 165°, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth or water if necessary. Serve as directed.

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.
