Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large beef flat iron (or skirt) steak cut into 4 steaks
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil (for spice paste rub)
1/8 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper (don't be afraid it'll be too
1 teaspoon(s) cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon(s) paprika, sweet mild
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
3 tablespoon(s) olive oil (for searing steaks)
1/2 cup(s) burgundy wine
1 cup(s) canned mushrooms (or fresh sauted)
1 teaspoon(s) balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon(s) butter
1/2 teaspoon(s) kitchen bouquet (for a browner sauce)

Steps:

  • Allow the steaks to come to room temperature (important)
  • Wisk 2 T olive oil, cayenne pepper, paprika, pepper, salt, mustard powder, and garlic powder.
  • Prick steaks with a fork and rub them well with the paste. Let sit for 30 miniutes.
  • Heat your cast iron skillet med. hot and add the remaining 3 T of olive oil. When smoking, add 2 of the 4 steaks (all 4 if your skillet is large enough). Sear to desired doneness without burning the spices (turn down and cover if need be). I prefer a med steak instead of Jackie B.'s recommended rare.
  • Remove steaks from skillet with tongs and let rest.
  • add red wine, balsamic vinegar, and kitchen bouquet to skillet. Stir in mushrooms. Simmer until all is reduced somewhat, and hot.
  • Turn off heat and add butter.
  • Serve steaks with sauce over the top, some crusty bread, a small baked potato, and veggie of your choice if desired.
  • Serve with burgundy wine in your goblet.
