Sautéed Steaks With Christmas Wine

Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, sliced thin
• 1½ teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced thin
• 4 top chuck steaks (about 2 pounds), pounded to ½ inch thick
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• ¾ cup Duplin Christmas Wine

Directions:

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium frying pan over moderately low heat. Stir in the onion, oregano, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook, covered, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
2. In a large stainless steel frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat. Season the steaks with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Put the steaks in the hot pan and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until done to medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Remove and let steaks rest.
3. Add the bell pepper mixture, Duplin’s Christmas Wine, and the remaining ½ teaspoon each of salt and black pepper to the large frying pan.
4. Sautee until the wine is completely absorbed, about 5 minutes. Slice the steak and top meat with the vegetables. Serve over rice or with crusty bread. Makes 6 to 8 servings
