We prefer Mycopia mushrooms from Sebastopol, CA. Roast mushrooms in a 400-degree oven for 15 minutes and reserve.8 springs fresh thyme1 cup Ferrari-Carano Cabernet Sauvignon Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Steak: Season steaks with spice blend, Kosher salt and black pepper. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for 20 – 30 minutes. Preheat a seasoned cast iron skillet. When the skillet is hot, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sear the steaks on each side for 4 minutes. Finish in the oven until an internal temperature of 120 degrees is reached. Remove steak from skillet, loosely cover with aluminum foil and let rest 5 minutes. Make the pan sauce in the cast iron skillet. Mushroom Cabernet Pan Jus: Immediately after removing the steak from the cast iron skillet, add 2 tablespoons butter and 3 sprigs of fresh thyme to the skillet. When butter is completely melted and starting to sizzle, add the roasted mushrooms, sauté for 1 minute, then deglaze with 1 cup of Cabernet Sauvignon. Reduce until sauce looks thick (about 2 minutes) and remove from pan. Mix in 10 Italian parsley leaves and hold in a warm area until ready to use. Butternut Squash Purée: In a small saucepan, sweat two cloves of garlic (minced) in olive oil. Add the butternut squash and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, lightly cover the saucepan and simmer until the squash is soft and cream is reduced. Spoon the squash in a blender leaving any extra liquid behind. Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Purée the mixture, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and consistency with extra cream from cooking. Yukon Gold Potatoes: Thoroughly wash potatoes, when dry toss with olive oi, salt and pepper. Place on sheet tray and roast in a 400-degree oven until tender (about 20 minutes). When removed from the oven, add butter, fresh thyme and Italian parsley. Brown Butter Broccolini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Blanch the broccolini for 2 minutes, then shock into ice water. When cool, remove from the water and gently squeeze dry. In a sauté pan, add 3 tablespoons butter. Let the butter start to brown, then add broccolini and sauté for 1 minute. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
