    Rocco DiSpirito

    List of Ingredients




    � cup grapefruit juice
    � cup red wine vinegar
    5 shallots, peeled, 2 coarsely chopped and 3 cut into long, thin slivers

    3 hanger steaks, each approximately 7 ounces (sirloin and top butt may
    be substituted)
    � cup all-purpose flour
    � cup corn oil
    Salt and ground pepper
    � cup chicken stock
    � cup red wine
    2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon Japanese mustard paste, strong Dijon mustard, or a homemade
    paste made from 1� teaspoons mustard powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, �
    teaspoon water, and � teaspoon oil
    Sugar, as needed

    Recipe



    One day in advance, marinate the steak. In a glass baking dish, blend
    together grapefruit juice, red wine vinegar, and the chopped shallots.
    Place steaks in dish and turn them several times to coat them with
    marinade. Cover dish and refrigerate for 24 hours.
    Remove steaks from marinade, brush off shallots, and pat dry with paper
    towels. Slice steaks on the bias into slices about 1 inch thick. Put
    flour in a shallow bowl, and dredge steak slices in flour, shaking off
    excess.
    Heat a saut� pan with high sides over high heat. Add the corn oil. (You
    will be pan-frying the steak here, as opposed to merely saut�ing it;
    therefore, it is important that the oil be hot enough for frying.) When
    oil is smoking hot, add the steak slices all at once and flash-fry by
    cooking 30 seconds per side for rare meat or 1 minute for well done.
    Transfer to paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tent with
    aluminum foil to keep hot.
    Drain all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the saut� pan and lower heat to
    medium. Add slivered shallots and saut� for 2 minutes. Pour in chicken
    stock, red wine, and rice wine vinegar, and use a wooden spoon to
    release any flavorful steak bits from bottom of pan. Increase heat to
    medium-high and cook until sauce has reduced by half. Whisk in mustard.
    Taste, and season with salt and pepper. The sauce should have a nice
    sweet-sour tang; feel free to stir in some sugar if needed.
    Transfer pan-fried steak to individual plates or a single large platter.
    Spoon pan sauce with shallots over steak. Serve hot.
