Steak with Red Wine Sauce

The Grand Finale!    Part three of the delicious recipes from Salud Napa chef  Gerry Castro is a seared sirloin steak with a delicious red wine sauce.

Gerry seasons his sirloin on both sides with salt and pepper, and adds to a very hot pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil.  When both sides are nicely browned, he takes his oven proof pan and puts it in the oven at 350F, where it finishes cooking for 5-6 minutes.   On to the sauce!   Gerry adds red wine to the pan and then adds veal stock,  reduces the liquid, and adds a dash of salt and pepper.  He then plates it beautifully with this lemon risotto.   Bravo to our friends from Salud Napa!

Note: the starter for this meal was a delicious beet salad found here.
