Entrecote Bourgignon ( Burgundy Style Steak)

I learned this and many other Burgundy dishes while living in Dijon, France, the capital of Burgundy for two years. My friend and neighbor Denis is the one who passed this recipe on to me along with some others. Merci Denis! This recipe is super easy and will impress your friends. It is the original unaltered recipe. The sauce is meant to be a nice subtle addition to the steak, not overpowering it with spices and flavor. Feel free to add other spices as you see fit.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 6 (8 ounce)  steaks (i.e. New York steak, they should have some fat)
• 6  shallots
• 1  tablespoon  minced parsley
• 4  ounces butter
• 2  tablespoons  oil
• 1⁄2 lb mushroom, sliced
• 1 (750 ml) bottle  red Burgundy wine

Directions

1. Sear the steaks over high heat in half the butter and all the oil until cooked to your desired doneness- the time depends on how you like your steaks.
2. Medium rare is how my friend made them.
3. Remove and keep warm in oven on low heat.
4. In the same pan, cook the mushrooms until tender, about three minutes, remove and keep warm.
5. In another pan, cook the shallots over medium heat until just transparent, and then add the bottle of wine and reduce by 2/3 on high heat.
6. Add salt, and then add the mushrooms, taste to adjust the seasonings.
7. Add one turn of the mill of black pepper, and then serve over the steaks.
8. the sauce should be fairly thick.
9. If you are in a hurry, you can thicken the sauce with a roux.
10. Serve with mashed potatoes, and a good salad.
