Pan-Seared Sirloin Steak with Cabernet-Mushroom Sauce

Pairs Well With

Ingredients

  • 4 sirloin steaks (1 inch thick)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Side Dish:

  • Creamed spinach
  • Roasted fingerling potatoes

Preparation

  • Season the sirloin steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
  • Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preference. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes, covered with foil.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
  • Add the Cabernet Sauvignon and beef broth to the skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits.
  • Simmer the sauce until it reduces and thickens slightly.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  • Serve the sirloin steaks with the Cabernet-mushroom sauce, along with creamed spinach and roasted fingerling potatoes on the side.
