I made C an awesome belated Vday dinner last night. If anyone is interested here’s how i did it.
2 top sirloin steaks (~1lb)
2 Tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper
celery salt
parsley
1/4c red wine***
1 large shallot
1 Tbsp butter
Heat a cast iron pan on medium high & add 2 turns of the pan of olive oil (~2 Tbsp). Oil should be smoking. Salt, pepper the steaks to taste both sides, sprinkle a dab of celery salt & top with parsley. Cook 7 minutes to side (5 would be medium rare). Remove from pan & tent the steaks w/ foil. Add shallots and brown for 2 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp butter & 1/4c wine, scrape all the steak goodness off the bottom of the pan, & cook the wine down about 1/2. Pour wine sauce of steak & serve w/ steamed broccoli.
***Note: A Cabernet would be a good choice of wine to use. I used a Shiraz and it turned out just a little fruitier than I would have liked.
