Provided by Robert Farrar Capon

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h20m

Yield Makes 4 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 thick chuck steak (about 4 pounds), bone in, or a 2- to 3-pound piece of round steak
1 clove garlic
Flour seasoned with salt and pepper (1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper per half-cup of flour)
1/4 cup olive oil or bacon fat
1 large Spanish onion, chopped
1 12-ounce package fresh mushrooms, sliced thick

1 cup red wine
1 cup chicken (or other) stock
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon savory
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper as desired

Steps:

  • Rub the steak all over with the garlic clove. Using a tenderizing mallet, the back edge of a cleaver or the edge of a heavy plate, pound into both sides of the steak as much of the seasoned flour as it will hold.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet, brown the steak on both sides and remove to a suitable covered baking dish. Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Add onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add tomato puree, Cognac, wine, stock, thyme, savory, marjoram, bay leaf, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Pour mixture over steak, cover and bake 2 hours or until very tender.
  • Carefully remove steak to a deep serving platter. Skim surface fat from the sauce in the baking dish, check seasonings and pour around steak. Pass any extra sauce at the table. Serve with mashed potatoes.

SWISS STEAK IN WINE SAUCE



Swiss Steak in Wine Sauce image

I got this recipe a few years back, and it has become one of my family's absolute favorites. This meal is great for Sunday dinners, as it takes a good 8 hours to cook, which gives you the most tender Swiss Steak you will ever eat. My husband, whom does not like anything "meat" tasting loves this one. The thing that makes it so different is the use of burgandy wine. Also, I have only made it with a crock pot, but I am sure that if you don't have one you could cook it in the oven at at low temp. for the 6 hours. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds beef bottom round, trimmed of excess fat
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil or bacon drippings
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour mixture. Tenderize the meat using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge the slices on both sides once more and set aside.
  • Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
  • Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE



Pan-Seared Steak With Red Wine Sauce image

You can use any cut of steak, either bone-in or boneless, to make this classic French bistro dish. Steaks cut from the tenderloin, such as filet mignon, are the most tender pieces of beef, though they lack the assertively beefy chew of sirloins and rib steaks. Adding brandy to the pan sauce not only contributes flavor; its high alcohol content and acidity help extract flavor from the pan drippings. However, if setting it on fire makes you nervous, skip that step and let the brandy simmer down for an extra few minutes to cook off most of the alcohol. Make sure to open a good bottle of red wine to use in the sauce here, preferably one that you're happy to finish off with dinner. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt, as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
1 1/2 pounds boneless steak, or 1 3/4 pounds bone-in steak (1 1/2 inches thick)
2 shallots
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed
2 tablespoons good brandy, preferably Cognac
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup beef or chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Watercress, for serving

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.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 skirt steaks, 4 ounces each
Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 pound French or regular carrots
1/4 pound baby summer squash, halved
1/4 pound pearl onions, peeled and halved
1/4 pound brussels sprouts, halved
8 ounces cremini mushrooms
4 ounces portobello mushrooms
4 ounces button mushrooms
1 medium white onion, diced
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/3 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
24 ounces low-sodium beef broth
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 ounces tomato paste
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Season steaks with salt and black pepper. On a grill pan coated with cooking spray, cook steaks over medium-high heat, turning once, until pink inside, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and cover with foil. In a bowl, toss carrots, squash, pearl onions and sprouts in 1/2 tablespoon oil. Over medium heat, in batches and turning once, cook until soft and seared, 6 minutes. In a large pan over medium heat, heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Slice mushrooms; to pan, add mushrooms, white onion and garlic; cook until onion browns, 5 to 7 minutes. Add wine and simmer 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. In a bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon cold water. Reduce heat and slowly add cornstarch mixture to broth mixture, stirring constantly, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add tomato paste, Italian seasoning and salt and black pepper; simmer 7 to 10 minutes. Slice steak, top with mushroom sauce; serve alongside vegetables.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Choose a chuck roast or top round steak that is well-marbled for the best flavor.
  • Brown the beef well: Browning the beef in a hot skillet before braising it helps to develop its flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the Swiss steak its flavor, so be sure to use a flavorful broth or stock. You can also add vegetables, herbs, and spices to the braising liquid for extra flavor.
  • Cook the steak until it is fall-apart tender: Swiss steak is best when it is cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the cut of beef and the cooking method.
  • Serve with a creamy mashed potatoes or egg noodles: Swiss steak is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or egg noodles. The creamy mashed potatoes or egg noodles help to balance out the richness of the steak.

Conclusion:

Swiss steak is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. With its tender beef, flavorful sauce, and creamy mashed potatoes or egg noodles, Swiss steak is a surefire way to please everyone at the table.
