Basil Garlic Steak

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp olive oil
1 large garlic cloves
8 oz strip steak, lean, cut in two (ribeye or sirloin top butt steaks may be substituted)
3/4 cup white wine
3 fresh basil leaves
1 pinch tabasco sauce, a few drops or to taste (optional)

Preparation:

Lightly moisten the bottom of an iron skillet with olive oil. Gently heat the large mashed garlic clove in it until aromatic and browning. Increase heat to high and add the steaks. Turn them briefly until browned. Add 3/4 cup white wine,1/4 at a time, letting it reduce completely between additions. Add the crushed basil leaves.

Remove the steaks after reduction to a warm serving plate (after 6-7 minutes of reduction they should be medium-rare).

Deglaze the skillet with ½ cup warm water to make a light sauce. Pour the sauce over the steak (hot sauce on the side is optional).

Note: You can use any dry white wine you like for this recipe. You can substitute 1 teaspoon dried basil instead for the fresh basil.
