Ingredients

How to make it

  • NORTH AFRICAN MARINADE:
  • 1 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon Chile powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons harissa or other hot sauce (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • (Soak meat for an appropriate amount of time and apply freely while cooking)
  • LEMON PEPPER MARINADE:
  • ¼ cup lemon juice,
  • 1 cup beer,
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice,
  • 2 Tablespoons freshly ground pepper,
  • ½ cup water.
  • (Soak meat for an appropriate amountapeno chilies look for them in
  • small cans in Latin stores)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • (Soak meat for an appropriate amount of time and apply freely while cooking)
  • STEAK WITH WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE
  • 4 medium sized New York Strip Steaks
  • 2 Tbsn. Finely chopped shallots
  • 2 oz. Butter (1/2 stick)
  • 1 lb. assorted wild mushrooms, sliced (portabello, morel, shitake, cremini...whatever is available)
  • 1/2 cup Red Wine
  • 3 oz Demi-Glace Gold*
  • 1 cup Hot Water
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • *If you can't find Demi-Glace Gold, you can substitute 1 cup of homemade demi-glace or 2 cups of veal stock reduced by half and forget about the cup of hot water.
  • Prepare Steaks:
  • Preheat your grill until it's really hot. Season the steaks with a little salt and pepper. The meat should be cooked approximately 3-4 minutes per side depending how you like your steaks. When done, slice the steaks into 1/4 inch strips, fan out on a warm plate and add your wild mushroom sauce.
  • Prepare Wild Mushroom Sauce:
  • Demi-Glace Gold comes with easy instructions, but here's how I make it. Melt butter in a sauce pan and sauté shallots until transparent, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add red wine, preferably something you may be sipping while you are preparing this meal. Don't use plain old cooking wine, big mistake. Add mushrooms and cook until tender and wine has reduced to an essence. Add Demi-Glace Gold and stir (with a whisk if you have one) until dissolved. Add hot water and simmer until the sauce has thickened, approximately 8-10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste and serve over the steaks (and mashed potatoes).
