New York Strip Steaks with Red Wine Sauce

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoon(s) vegatable oil
• 4 whole(s) New York Strip Steaks 1-inch thick, fat trimmed, patted dry
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 3/4 cup(s) full-bodied red wine, such as Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon
• 1/2 cup(s) beef stock
• 3 tablespoon(s) butter cold, cut into pieces
• 1 tablespoon(s) dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon(s) dijon mustard

Preparation

1. 1 - Heat half the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 2 steaks with 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook until deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 130F, about 4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Transfer to a platter, and tent with foil. Repeat with remaining oil and steaks. Let steaks rest in a 250F oven.


2. 2 - Reduce heat to medium, and add wine to skillet. Cook until almost completely reduced, about 5 minutes. Add beef stock, and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 2 1/2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and whisk in butter (1 piece at a time) and mustard. Stir in any juices from the platter, and season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over steaks.
