Tuna Steak With Red Wine Sauce Food

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE

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.

RED WINE VINAIGRETTE TUNA STEAKS

• Add tuna steaks, discard remaining marinade.
• Grill 4-6 minutes per side. Tuna should not be cooked well done!
• Remove from heat and let rest for 3-5 minutes.
• Enjoy :-).

FLAT IRON STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the grill or barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice the steaks across the grain. Divide the steak slices among 6 plates. Drizzle the sauce over the steak, drizzle a little more extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

TUNA AU POIVRE WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Season tuna steaks with salt. Sprinkle with garlic, coriander, fennel and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Rub to coat evenly with spices on both sides. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 4 hours and bring to room temperature before cooking).
• Make the red wine sauce: Melt butter over medium-high heat and add shallots. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add wine and simmer until reduced by half. Add chicken broth and reduce until 1 cup sauce remains, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, set aside and keep warm.
• Set a wide cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat (or use 2 smaller pans). When hot, lay in steaks and sear for 2 minutes, until nicely browned. Flip and cook 1 minute more for rare, 2 minutes for medium rare. Arrange tuna on a platter or individual plates. Spoon wine sauce over each steak.

SICILIAN TUNA STEAKS IN ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• SAUCE:.
• Saute the onions in olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
• Add salt and cook, stirring until they are limp.
• Stir in vinegar and sugar, and cook over a slightly lower heat until the vinegar has evaporated.
• I caution you, the escaping steam will take your breath away so stay well away from the skillet when possible, but do perservere!
• When vinegar has evaporated, add cayenne or tabasco, mix well and remove from heat.
• The sauce should still retain the texture of the onions and yet retain enough moisture to be spoonable.
• Cover and keep warm.
• TUNA:.
• Over medium heat, add olive oil and bay leaves to a skillet large enough to hold tuna steaks in one layer.
• When the oil is warm, not hot, add tuna and salt and pepper to taste.
• Saute 2-3 minutes per side, but this will depend on thickness of steaks and your doneness preference-- we like ours on the rare side.
• Raise heat, add wine, and cover pan a second or two, just until the wine has stopped steaming.
• Uncover skillet, cook 30 seconds longer, then transfer tuna to plates.
• Spoon the onions and sauce over the top of each, and serve.

TUNA STEAKS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a hot skillet.
• Sear tuna steaks on both sides.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter and stir in 1 tablespoon of flour.
• Add 3/4 cup of white wine and then add the flour and butter mixture.
• Add roasted red pepers and seasonings.
• Stir sauce until mixed well.
• Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.

GRILLED STEAKS WITH RED WINE MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a shallow dish large enough to hold the steaks in a single layer, combine the wine, soy sauce, vinegar, thyme, pepper and half of the garlic. Place the steaks in the marinade and turn them over to thoroughly coat. Set them aside to marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
• Preheat the broiler or prepare the grill. If broiling, line a broiler pan with foil.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic, the scallions and mushrooms and saute until the scallions are limp and the mushrooms are beginning to release their liquid, two to three minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until it is no longer visible, about 30 seconds.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Stir the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook, stirring, until the mixture has come to a boil and thickened slightly, one to two minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer while you cook the steaks.
• Grill or broil the steaks four inches from the heat; 7 minutes per side for rare, 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, 9 minutes per side for well-done. Let the steaks rest for five minutes before serving.
• Serve the steaks topped with the red wine mushroom sauce.
