Steaks with Roasted Garlic, Shallots
and Red Wine Sauce
The Norton House Hotel, Edinburgh
Bon Appétit June 1995

 
Bon Appetit

1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup chopped shallots
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 large sprigs fresh thyme (1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 bay leaf
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup beef stock
12 garlic cloves, peeled
12 shallots, peeled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Four 6-ounce beef tenderloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled butter, cut into pieces

In heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine wine, chopped shallots, chopped garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Add both stocks and boil until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. (Sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place whole garlic cloves and shallots on 12-inch square of foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bring 4 corners of foil together to form package; twist to seal. Place foil on baking sheet; roast 30 minutes. Open foil and roast until garlic and shallots are tender and golden, about 30 minutes. Transfer garlic and shallots to platter. Tent with foil.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for rare. Transfer steaks to platter with garlic and shallots. Tent with foil. Bring sauce to simmer. Remove from heat. Add butter one piece at a time, whisking just until melted. Strain sauce into medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over steaks, garlic and shallots and serve. Serves 4.
