Steak With Red Wine Sauce And Lyonnaise Potatoes Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by preparing the Lyonnaise potatoes. Slice the potatoes into thin rounds and soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
• STEP 2.In a large skillet, heat some butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are golden brown and caramelized.
• STEP 3.Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add more butter and olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
• STEP 4.Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and cook until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Flip them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
• STEP 5.While the potatoes are cooking, season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat a separate skillet over high heat and add some oil. Sear the steak for a few minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness.
• STEP 6.Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. In the same skillet, add the red wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
• STEP 7.Let the red wine simmer until it has reduced by half. Add beef broth, thyme, and a knob of butter. Stir until the butter has melted and the sauce has thickened.
• STEP 8.Slice the steak and serve it with the Lyonnaise potatoes. Drizzle the red wine sauce over the steak and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• For a medium-rare steak, cook it for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
• Make sure to let the steak rest before slicing it. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the red wine sauce and cook it for a few more minutes until it thickens.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the steak in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
• The red wine sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat it in a saucepan over low heat before serving.
• Serve the steak and Lyonnaise potatoes with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
