Hi all,

I threw together a recipe last night that I would love some critiquing of. The family really seemed to enjoy it, but it was my own concoction. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I could perhaps improve either the flavor or technique, I'd really appreciate it!

Steak with Apple Pan Sauce

Apples

2 fresh apples, cored and chopped

1 heaping tsp light brown sugar

2 tbsp pulverized almond slices

1/4 cup brandy

Steak

4 strip steaks

1 cup beef stock

Salt & Pepper

Directions

Completely dry steaks with paper towels, sprinkle salt and pepper.

Sauté steaks in 2 tbsp butter & 2 tbsp olive oil.

Meanwhile, sauté apples, brown sugar, and half the almonds in 2 tbsp butter.

After apples have softened, add 1/4 cup brandy. Continue cooking for a few more minutes.

When steaks have finished cooking, drain grease. Deglaze pan with beef stock over highest heat. When stock has become syrupy, remove from heat and swirl in 3 tbsp butter and apple mixture.

Top steaks with sauce, garnish with remaining almond pieces.
