MINUTE STEAK WITH QUICKIE COGNAC SAUCE



Minute Steak with Quickie Cognac Sauce image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Canola oil, for cooking
One 12-ounce sirloin steak
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 medium shallots
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup cognac (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup beef stock
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 small bunch fresh chives

Steps:

  • Put some oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Place the steak on a plastic board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound the steak with the flat side of a meat mallet until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap.
  • Sprinkle the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. When the oil begins to visibly smoke, add the steak to the skillet. Cook on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. (Resist the temptation to flip or move the steak as it cooks.) Turn the steak on the second side and cook until browned and an instant-read thermometer registers between 125 and 130 degrees F for rare, between 130 and 135 degrees F for medium-rare, or between 135 and 140 degrees F for medium, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, peel and mince the shallots.
  • Remove the steak from the skillet to a clean plastic cutting board while you make the sauce. Pour off the excess grease from the skillet. Add the shallots to the skillet along with the butter and cook until the shallots are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Pull the skillet off the heat and add the cognac. Gently tilt the skillet towards the flame to ignite the alcohol. Cook until the flame subsides and the liquid reduces almost completely. (See below for an alternative method for igniting alcohol.) Add the beef stock, mustard and vinegar and stir to combine. Reduce until thick, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the chives. Add the steak and any accumulated juices back to the skillet. Spoon the shallots and juices over the steak, then transfer back to the cutting board. Slice the steak, then arrange on a serving platter. Spoon over any additional sauce and sprinkle the sliced chives over the top.
