Pan-Seared Steak and Red Wine Sauce

11/17/2015

Comments

Here's a recipe to make a pan-seared steak with a red wine sauce. We first sear the steaks, throw them in the oven to cook slowly, then make the sauce using the same pan. 
Picture
It starts with cutting up an onion, sauteeing it, and adding that to the sauce. 
Picture
Chop off the ends of the onion, peel off the outer skin layers, then dice it all up into chunks. 
Picture
To make the sauce, you're going to need the sauteed onion, butter, thyme, balsamic vinegar, red wine, and dijon mustard. 
Picture
Take out the steak from the fridge. Let it warm up to room temperature. Rub some olive oil on the steak, then add salt and pepper. Turn on the oven to 350 F.
Picture
Picture
Heat up a pan. Throw the steak on there. Add a few chunks of unsalted butter. That butter will later on be the brown scraping stuff used for the sauce. You'll want to cover the steak, because it'll be popping hot butter in the pan.

The goal is to sear the steak sides for one minute. To seal in the juices. 
Picture
One minute on one side. Flip. One minute on the other side. It should look like this. 
Picture
Grab a mitten. Grab the pan. Slide it into the oven. Cook the seared steak in the pan in the oven at 350 for about 4 minutes on either side. Flip after 4 or 5 minutes. 10 minutes total maximum cooking time. 
Picture
Picture
While this is all going on, I'm also rendering lard. Lard is the fat of a pig. Rendering is heating it up to get all of the fat out of it. And then we cook with it. It's our main cooking oil. We use it in our test kitchen for everything. 
Picture
Using a meat thermometer, I'm flawless. Takes out all of the guessing. 
Picture
Picture
After reaching your desired meat temperature, take the steak out of the oven, and out of the pan. Plate it. Let it rest. Now, you're pan is where you make the sauce. 
Picture
Picture
Put slabs of butter on the steak. Cover with foil. Rest it. 
Picture
Picture
Sautee the onions in the same pan. At a bay leaf. Add some dijon mustard. Add a splash of vinegar. 
Picture
Picture
Add the wine. Sweeten the sauce up with some organic coconut sugar.
Picture
The steak came out perfect. Medium. 
Picture
And there you go. Pan seared steak with red wine sauce.

As a Man Thinketh in His Heart, So Is He

​Mind is Everything

A man is what he thinks. Literally. A man’s character is the sum of all of his thoughts. His mind is everything. 

Action

Every action requires a thought. Action blooms from a man’s thoughts. Every act grows and springs from his seeds planted by his thoughts. Joy and suffering may be the fruits of his thoughts. He may reap both the ripe and the rotten of his own mental harvest.

Character

A noble, manly character isn’t created by chance, but by the natural result of continued effort in intentional thinking. Believing. A man is built or destroyed by himself. By thought alone, a man may create the weapons with which he destroys himself. His thoughts can also forge the tools with which he builds himself a comforting armor of joy, power, and peace. Between the Godlike and the bestial are all the of measures of a man’s character, and he is their maker and master. 

Proverbs 23:7

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Belhaven Scottish Ale Draught

The King's Guide Score: 87

Belhaven Scottish Ale Draught is a Scottish ale brewed by the Belhaven Brewing Company in the Scotland and is served in a draught can. Ideally, you serve this beer at around 50 degrees F. The can has a ball inside it, which helps create a ton of bubbles and a thick foamy head. When it pours, there is a lot of foam to handle. The color is deep amber color and has a thick taste. This beer reminds me of a porter. Sticks to your mustache. It's a meal. 
Picture
I prefer to serve such a foamy beer in a glass that has a bulbous top that can handle all that foam formation.
