Steak

Fries

Mushroom Malbec Au Jus

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the skirt steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips for fries. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large, heavy pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips in batches, frying them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Season with salt immediately.

Mushroom Malbec Au Jus

  1. 6

    Sauté the Shallots and Mushrooms

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and cook until soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices, about 5 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Wine and Broth

    Pour in the Malbec wine and beef broth, then add thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce for about 10-15 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
