  CHEF'S CORNER
By Ahamefula Amachi
 
Grilled 16oz. Ribeye topped with Blue Cheese and Drizzled with a Port Wine Reduction
 

Summer is coming again and we are ready to start another grilling season. I think we should open it with a little decadent flair. Nothing says decadent like a 16oz. piece of meat with creamy blue cheese and a rich port wine reduction. Any dieting about to start or that is already in progress should be put on hold because this meal is worth savoring.

  • 2-16 ounce Ribeye steaks

        cut in half lengthwise blanched & refreshed

    Port Wine Reduction

    Preparation Port reduction:
    1) Place a medium sauce pan over medium high heat.
    2) Add the blended oil to the sauce pan and begin to sweat the onions & garlic.
    3) Once the onions start to become translucent add the port wine to deglaze the pan.
    4) Reduce heat on the pan when it comes to a simmer and let the port wine reduce down to approximately 1/2 cup.
    5) Add the beef stock and the thyme bring to a simmer and let reduce to approximately 1 1/2 cups.
    6) Remove the sauce from the heat and strain out the onions, garlic, and thyme.
    7) Place the sauce back in the pan and let reduce to approximately 1 cup.
    8) Remove the sauce from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
    9) Optional: if you want to make the sauce a little richer you can whisk in an ounce or two of unsalted butter to the sauce.
    10) This sauce can be made a day in advance and reheated when it is ready to be used.
