We'd planned a barbeque with Darling Hubby's famous BBQ Drumsticks, but it looks as if we'll be grilling indoors instead.
That means Flat Iron Steaks with Brandied Steak Sauce. You make this with drippings in the pan from cooking the steaks.
This homemade steak sauce is great on beef steaks or pork chops and can dress up hamburger steak too.
Make a batch and store it in the fridge or freezer until needed. Heat before serving.
BRANDIED STEAK SAUCE
Ingredients
1/2 cup of brandy
1/2 cup of rich beef stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Directions
1. When the steaks are finished cooking, place them on a platter in a draft-free space for about 10 minutes to allow the meat juices to settle.
2. Pour the drippings from the skillet, leaving about a tablespoon left in the pan. Toss the onions into the pan and saute until soft. Do not brown the onions.
3. When the onions are soft, reduce the heat, and carefully add the brandy. You don't want to flame the onions. Simmer about five minutes until the alcohol volatilizes. You don't want that "raw" brandy taste.
4. Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and beef stock. Whisk well. Reduce the heat to low and simmer.
5. Serve warm with the steaks.
Option. Before serving, when the sauce has thickened a little, add a bit of finely chopped fresh tarragon or fresh thyme leaves to finish. Then pour over the steaks.
