Serves 4
21 DF Containers: 1R, 1tsp, 1/4Y
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil (3tsp)
2
(8-ounce) top sirloin steaks, trimmed (4R)
3/8 teaspoon
sea salt, divided
3/8 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper, divided
3 tablespoons
minced shallots
2 teaspoons
chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup
full-bodied red wine (I used a red blend) (1Y treat)
1/2 cup
unsalted beef stock
1 1/2 teaspoons
organic butter (1 1/2tsp)
Directions
1. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Sprinkle steaks evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add steaks to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired temp (we like a nice medium rare and remember it will still cook while it rests). Remove steaks from pan. Let stand 5 minutes.2. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add shallots and thyme to pan; sauté 1 minute or until lightly browned. Add wine; cook 2 1/2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Add stock; cook 3 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half and mixture is slightly thickened. Remove pan from heat. Add remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, butter, and mustard; stir with a whisk.
3. Cut steak across the grain into thin slices; serve with sauce.
I served this with potatoes that I seasoned with a little olive oil and garlic herb and roasted and also some roasted asparagus. This came out perfect and tasted so yummy. Make sure to trim your steaks of all visible fat to keep it healthy. My family ate this up as usual when I serve steak and potatoes (we will do it a few times a month but that's it usually)...never any leftovers at this house.
