Rib Steak With Marrow And Red Wine Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat a heavy ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat your broiler.
• Pat steak dry with paper towels, then vigorously rub cut side of garlic all over steak, particularly the bone. Season generously all over with salt and pepper.
• Place steak in hot pan and carefully, using a potholder, transfer pan to broiler. Cook meat until done to taste, about 5 to 7 minutes for rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Cut the marrow crosswise into slices half an inch thick. Put the pieces in a bowl and add cold water to cover. Set aside for 10 minutes or longer.
• Sprinkle the meat on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold both steaks. Add the steaks and cook about 10 minutes or until thoroughly browned and seared on one side. Turn and continue cooking until thoroughly browned and seared, about 5 minutes. Cook about 5 minutes longer, turning the meat occasionally.
• Transfer the steaks to a warm platter and pour off all fat from the skillet.
• Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and when it melts, add the shallots, wine, vinegar and sugar.
• Cook over relatively high heat until the liquid is almost completely reduced, about 12 minutes.
• Add the broth and any juices that may have accumulated around the steaks. Cook about 3 minutes and swirl in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter.
• Meanwhile, drain the pieces of marrow and put them in a saucepan.
• Add cold water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer but do not boil. Cook as briefly as possible, only until the marrow is barely heated. If the marrow cooks longer it will turn into liquid fat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the marrow pieces to the sauce. Slice the steaks and serve with the marrow sauce on the side.

Steps:

• 1. Rub the steaks on both sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Let them come to room temperature while you make the sauce.2. Melt the butter in a heavy medium-size saucepan. Add the shallots and sauté over medium heat, stirring, until softened and translucent but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned and most of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer the wine briskly until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the stock and simmer briskly until the mixture is reduced by half again, 5 minutes more. If you start with very good stock, the mixture may be thick enough to serve as a sauce without the cornstarch. If not, stir the cornstarch-wine mixture into the sauce and bring to a boil the sauce should thicken slightly. Whisk in salt and pepper as necessary the sauce should be highly seasoned. Remove from the heat and set aside while you poach the marrow.3. Pour water to a depth of 1 inch into a shallow pan. Heat to a simmer, add the marrow, and poach until waxy and white, with no remaining red, turning with a skimmer, 15 to 30 seconds. Do not overcook, or the marrow will melt. Transfer the marrow to paper towels to drain then cut it into thin crosswise slices (see Note).4. Preheat the grill to high.5. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Place the steaks on the hot grate and grill until cooked to taste, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, rotating the steaks 45 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create an attractive crosshatch of grill marks use tongs when moving or turning the steak. While the steak cooks, reheat the sauce, tasting it for seasoning. Transfer the steaks to a platter and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the steaks and top with slices of marrow and a sprinkling of parsley. Serve immediately.Serves 4Note: The recipe can be prepared several hours ahead to this point.

Steps:

• Pat steaks dry, then sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (total).
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
