New York Strip Steak with Caramelized Shallots Caramelized shallots served atop a simple steak make this a restaurant dish that can be easily replicated at home. In a pinch, your average onion can be substituted for the shallots. Ingredients: 6 tbsp. unsalted butter (3/4 stick) 1 pound shallots, trimmed and thinly sliced Salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 (12-ounce) New York strip steaks Olive oil Preparation: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it starts to foam. Add the shallots and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are dark amber but not burned, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (You can make these up to 1 week ahead and store in the fridge. Bring the shallots to room temperature before serving.) Preheat a grill or grill pan until very hot. Coat the steaks with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Sear, without moving, until a dark golden crust forms, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook to the desired temperature, about 4 to 5 minutes more for medium rare (120°F on an instant-read thermometer). Let the steaks stand for 5 minutes before serving. Top with the caramelized shallots and serve with OMG Merlot. Pan-Fried Steak with Mustard Cream Sauce Ingredients: 4 8–10-oz. flat iron steaks, cut horizontally 1 tbsp. olive oil without the connective tissue 5 tbsp. cognac or brandy Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1⁄4 cup heavy cream to taste 1 1⁄2 tbsp. dijon mustard 1 tbsp. unsalted butter 1 tbsp. minced flat-leaf parsley Preparation: Season steaks with salt and pepper. Heat butter and oil in a 12" cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked to desired temperature, about 6 minutes for medium rare. Remove pan from heat. Transfer steaks to 4 warm plates and pour off and discard all but 1 tbsp. fat. Add 4 1⁄2 tbsp. cognac to pan and stir, scraping browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Return pan to medium-high heat and cook for 20 seconds. Add cream and mustard, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring vigorously, until sauce just comes together. Stir in remaining cognac and pour sauce over steaks. Serve steaks garnished with parsley and black pepper and serve with Journée de Mistral Ventoux. Serves 4
