ANCHO-MUSHROOM SAUCE:
Pour the chicken stock into a medium
saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and
cook until reduced to 2 cups.
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high
heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots, and
garlic and cook until the mushrooms are
golden brown and their liquid has evapo-
rated, 8 to 10 minutes.
Whisk the ancho puree into the reduced
chicken stock and then pour the mixture into
the pan with the mushrooms. Bring to a boil
and cook! stirring occasionally, until the
sauce is reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir in the honey and cilantro and season
with salt and pepper.
TO MAKE STEAK:
Combine the ancho powder, espresso,
paprika, brown sugar, mustard, coriander,
oregano,3/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper, ginger,
and chile de arbol powder in a small bowl.
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high
heat until smoking. Season one side of each
filet with a heaping tablespoon of the rub.
Place the filets in the pan, rub side down, and
cook until a crust has formed, about 2 min-
utes. Turn the steaks over, reduce the heat to
medium, and continue cooking to medium-
rare, 6 to 7 minutes. The meat will be bright
pink in the center. Remove from the pan and
let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Ladle the sauce onto large plates and top
with the steaks. |
