Spicy, Saucy Steak

Father's Day is this Sunday and we usually show our love for all the Dads and Husbands  with some kind of a meal.  If the Dad in your life enjoys a good steak, then he's going to love this. I like this steak recipe because it looks and tastes like something you'd be served at a fine restaurant and it takes little effort to prepare.

The Espresso Balsamic Vinegar added at the end adds an unexpected surprise to the dark sauce drizzled over the steaks.



Spicy, Saucy, Sizzling Steak

　

Ingredients:

2 Boneless sirloin steaks.. about 6-8 ounces each
2 teaspoons Joe and Son’s Chipotle Olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup thinly sliced onions
1 ½ cup slice mushrooms, cleaned and wiped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
¼ cup red wine
3 Tablespoons Joe and Son’s Espresso Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions:

In a large frying pan, heat the Olive Oil to a medium temperature. Cook the steaks for about 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness. Turn the steaks a few times to cook both sides.  Make sure you don't overcook the steaks.

Remove the steaks; set aside and keep warm.

In the same pan, add the garlic, onions, mushrooms and pepper flakes for about 4-5 minutes. Carefully add the red wine; stir and cook, uncovered, until most of the wine has evaporated. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

Add the Balsamic Vinegar, stir and reduce the heat to low. Continue cooking for about 7-8  minutes until the liquid has slightly thickened and reduced a bit. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed.

Spoon the mushroom and sauce over the steaks.
