Port Wine Sauce For Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and place a rack in the middle.
• Generously season the New York strip all over with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy metal roasting pan on the stove over high heat. Add a film of olive oil. When the oil begins to give off wisps of smoke, carefully put the meat in the pan presentation side down and turn down the heat to medium-high; scatter the trimming scraps around its sides. Sear without disturbing until the meat is evenly browned, about 5 minutes per side. With the meat presentation side up, put the roasting pan in the oven and cook until done medium rare, 140 to 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer the meat from the roasting pan to a serving platter, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest in a warm place for 10 to 15 minutes.
• For Port Wine Mustard Sauce: Remove and discard the scraps from the roasting pan and pour off all but a thin film of fat. Put the pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and, as soon as it starts to sizzle, pour in the port wine and the stock, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to dissolve the pan deposits. With a whisk, stir in the cream. Reduce the heat to maintain a bare simmer and, a piece at a time, whisk in the butter until it melts. Continue cooking until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Turn off the heat and stir in the mustard and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan to keep it warm.
• Uncover the New York strip and transfer it to a cutting board. Pour any juices that have collected on the platter into the sauce, stirring it in. With a sharp knife, cut the meat across the grain into slices about 1/2-inch thick, arranging them overlapping on the platter. Ladle a little sauce over the meat and pass the rest alongside.

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.

Strain into medium saucepan, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids in strainer. DO AHEAD: Can be made 24 to 36 hours ahead. Cool slightly, then cover and chill.
• For roasting:
• Let beef stand at room temperature 1 hour before roasting. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Rub beef all over with oil; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cracked peppercorns, pressing to adhere. Return beef to rack on baking sheet and roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 125°F for medium-rare (135°F to 140°F in thinnest part), about 30 minutes. Remove roast from oven and let rest 15 minutes.
• Bring sauce to boil; whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut off string from roast. Cut roast crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; arrange on platter. Serve with sauce.
