The Basics

• Dish: Main Course
• cuisine: Other
• Serves: 2
• Prep Time: 0hrs 15 mins
• Cooking Time: 0hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

• small amount crumbled blue cheese (optional)
• 2 Good quality steaks fillet or serloin
• 1-2 tablespoons butter
• about 2 tablespoons oil for frying
• 1 large glass cabernet wine (or any half decent red wine)

Method

In a heavy frying pan (I use my cast-iron frying pan) over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sear the steaks, for 5 to 6 minutes per side. When the steaks are done to your liking, remove from the pan, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest 5-10 minutes before serving. (Add juices that accumulate from resting steaks to the Sauce).
For the sauce,
Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil, scraping any pieces of steak off the bottom of the pan and stirring them into the emerging sauce. Let the liquid bubble and reduce. Remove pan from heat. Add the butter to pan. Pour the sauce over the steaks just before serving.
For an extra bit of luxury, crumble a little blue cheese on top and allow to melt...
Pure decadence!!!!
