Steak with Red Wine Sauce

The Grand Finale!    Part three of the delicious recipes from Salud Napa chef  Gerry Castro is a seared sirloin steak with a delicious red wine sauce.

Gerry seasons his sirloin on both sides with salt and pepper, and adds to a very hot pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil.  When both sides are nicely browned, he takes his oven proof pan and puts it in the oven at 350F, where it finishes cooking for 5-6 minutes.   On to the sauce!   Gerry adds red wine to the pan and then adds veal stock,  reduces the liquid, and adds a dash of salt and pepper.  He then plates it beautifully with this lemon risotto.   Bravo to our friends from Salud Napa!

Note: the starter for this meal was a delicious beet salad found here.

The Legendary Guinness Steak Recipe!

We have a new appreciation for Guinness beer!  Why?   Because their storehouse has an executive chef, whose sole job is to prepare delicious meals made with Guinness!  In this video the Dublin redhead Irish lad Chef Mark Smyth prepares for us a Guinness soaked beef sirloin, served with potatoes and steamed root vegetables.   This legendary recipe is said to be the most requested dish by tourists at the brewery.

1 lb sirloin steak
1 shallot, quartered
6 garlic cloves, pressed
3-5 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tsp steak seasoning
1 can Guinness stout

1. Cut steak into 4 ounce serving size pieces and remove any fat.
2. In a large dish, combine shallots, garlic, steak seasoning and 3/4 of the Guinness. Marinate the steak for 3 hours.
3. In a very hot skillet, sear the meat for 2 minutes per side for rare, longer if you prefer more well done. Remove to a warm plate.
4. Add the marinade and the rest of the Guinness to the skillet and boil to reduce by about 75%. Remove rosemary and shallots.
5. Serve steak with reduction sauce drizzled over it.

Chef Jim’s Delicious Braciole

Chef Jim Gray prepares a delicious braciole, an italian dish consisting of savory thin slices of steak rolled around a spinach parmesean mixture and simmered in a rich tomato sauce.

Kitchen Guy’s Braciole Recipe
Recipe adapted from Chef Sandy Hall

Ingredients
1 large bunch baby spinach
1 1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. olive oil
6 medium garlic cloves crushed and chopped
3/4 cup panko (Japanese-style) breadcrumbs
2 pinches red pepper flakes
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 cup dry red wine
1 28 oz. can or jar of tomato sauce
1 1/2 lbs. sirloin steaks pounded thin enough to roll

Preheat oven to 400. Sauté the spinach in the olive oil until the spinach wilts. Add garlic, salt and pepper to taste and sauté a bit longer until the spinach is completely softened. Add balsamic vinegar and simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool.

Mix in breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes, toasted pine nuts and Parmesan. Pound the beef between two sheets of plastic wrap until it is about 1/4 inch thick and elongated. Remove plastic wrap and lightly salt and pepper the meat. Put a generous heap of the filling in the center of the meat, lift the end closest to you over the filling and roll, sealing with toothpicks or tieing with butcher’s twine. Drizzle olive oil in a glass baking dish and lay the meat rolls in a single layer. Pour wine until it comes about halfway up the sizes of the meat. Spoon tomato sauce over the top, covering completely.
Tightly cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees and continue braising for 4 hours.

Spicy lime dressing

In a blender, blend garlic, ginger, lemongrass, black pepper, and grapeseed oil until smooth. Pour over flank steak and let marinate for at least one hour in the refrigerator.

Remove skirt steak from refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Before grilling steak, remove excess marinade by blotting with paper towels.

Remove steak from grill and let rest at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, compose salad of honeydew, watercress, avocado, red onion and basil on serving plates. Dress generously with spicy lime dressing. Slice steak thinly against the grain and plate with salad. Serve immediately.
