Best Sautéed Kidneys In Red Wine Sauce Recipes

LAMBS' KIDNEYS IN RED WINE

Steps:

• Begin by melting the butter in a pan and softening the onion and garlic in it for 5 minutes. After that add the chopped bacon and the mushrooms, and cook for a further 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the kidneys: cut them in half and remove the skins, then snip out the cores with a pair of kitchen scissors. Now add the halved kidneys to the pan and cook them to colour a little, stirring them around the pan. Next sprinkle in the flour and stir it to soak up the juices, then add the thyme and pour in the red wine. Bring the whole lot to simmering point; season with salt (not too much, because of the bacon) and pepper. Then cover the pan and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Then remove the lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Generously sprinkle salt and pepper all over steaks, then let steaks rest uncovered for 15 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, mince the shallots.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add steaks and cook until done to taste, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare and a little longer for medium-rare or medium. (Bone-in steaks take a few minutes longer to cook through than boneless.) If the pan begins to smoke or burn, lower the heat. Transfer steaks to a plate to rest while you prepare the sauce.
• Add shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add brandy to the skillet and use a long-handled match or igniter to set the brandy on fire. (Stand back when you do this.) Let flames die out, then add red wine and cook until reduced and syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add stock and boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the chives. Serve steaks and sauce immediately with watercress.

VEAL KIDNEYS IN RED-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut each kidney crosswise into quarters. Cut away and discard most but not all of the firm interior white fat or core of each kidney. Cut the kidneys into bite-size cubes and set aside.
• Cut the mushrooms into bite-size pieces. There should be about 4 cups.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan, and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Continue cooking until the liquid evaporates. Add 1 tablespoon of the shallots and the flour, and cook briefly, stirring. Add the wine, beef broth and tomato paste, and cook over high heat about 5 minutes or until reduced to 2 cups.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wide, heavy skillet, and add half of the kidney pieces. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring often, about 1 1/2 minutes. Line a mixing bowl with a sieve, and pour the kidneys into the sieve to drain.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet, and add the remaining kidney pieces. Cook about 1 1/2 minutes and drain, as above.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a casserole, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of shallots. Cook briefly, and add the mushrooms in red-wine sauce, the kidneys, salt and pepper, and swirl in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Add the scallions and stir for a moment. Pour in wine and scrape deglazings; boil down until syrupy. Remove from heat, add butter and parsley or chives if you wish; pour over steak
