Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Cut the beef into individual steaks if it's not already portioned.
- Ensure the butter is softened at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the potato slices in a large baking dish.
- Drizzle with half of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning them halfway through baking.
- In a small saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer.
- Continue to cook until the wine has reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh thyme.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then mix it into the softened butter until well combined.
- Set aside the red wine butter.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Wrap each steak with a slice of prosciutto.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred level of doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Place a portion of roasted potatoes on each plate.
- Top the potatoes with a beef steak wrapped in prosciutto.
- Add a generous dollop of red wine butter on top of each steak.
- Serve immediately while the butter melts over the warm steak, infusing it with rich flavors.
- Pair with a glass of red wine for an elegant meal.
Tips:
- Ensure your beef is at room temperature before cooking; this allows for even cooking and better flavor absorption.
- When cooking the onions and garlic, do so slowly over medium heat to draw out their natural sweetness and avoid burning.
- Use a high-quality red wine that you enjoy drinking, as this will significantly enhance the sauce's flavor.
- Allow the red wine sauce to reduce adequately; this will intensify the flavors and create a more luxurious sauce.
- Rest the cooked beef covered with foil for at least 10 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat tender and moist.
- Keep an eye on the butter as you cook its sauce; it should melt smoothly without separating or burning.
- For added depth of flavor, you can marinate the beef in red wine and herbs for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
With these simple steps, you can prepare a mouth-watering prosciutto beef with red wine butter dish that is sure to impress. Whether you're cooking for loved ones or treating yourself to a gourmet meal, this recipe combines heartiness and sophistication in every bite. Enjoy the complex flavors and tender textures with a side of perfectly cooked potatoes for a meal you'll want to savor again and again.
