Apple Wine Steak

Total Time: 1 hr 45 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 lbs steak
• 2 cups apple boone's farm wine, cold
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon crushed mustard seeds
• 2 teaspoons italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon fennel seed
• 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic (not dried)
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cups water

Recipe

• 1 in a saucepan combine water oil and spices. bring to a boil. reduce heat to a simmer and allow to reduce by approximately half. remove from heat. refrigerate until cold.
• 2 meanwhile prepare meat thusly: cut into strips close to 2 by 5 inches. using a fork puncture each strip at least 5 times on each the top and bottom. place steak strips into zipper bags. pack them tightly into the bottom of the bags and squeeze and roll the bags until as much air as possible is removed, this means squashing it out of the meat too.
• 3 once liquids are cold mix with wine in a sealable container large enough to hold the steak. place bags into bowl and with them submerged as much as possible into the liquid poke holes into the bags. the vacuum pressure sucks some of the liquid into the meat and the bags. refrigerate at least one hour, but the flavor is awsome if left overnight.
• 4 cook in any manner of choosing after removing steak from liquid. great cooked in a pan or on the grill, but cook over medium-low heat to desired doneness to preserve tenderness and juices. delicious with jack daniels steak or original no. 7 barbecue sauces -- wow.
