As some of you may know, I often watch The Chew when I am at home.  I love the mix of talk-show banter and cooking goodies.  My favorite co-host is Michael Symon, because he isn't afraid of butter, steak, or bacon.  A few weeks ago he did a Pan Roasted Steak with a Red Wine Sauce.  John has started making his own wine, so I decided to make this recipe with his wine!  He even built a wine rack!

Since then, he has filled a few more rows up with his white wine.  It is pretty good, too!  I'm so proud of him.

Anyway, back to the food.  I started by defrosting some steaks, seasoning them with salt and pepper.

I cooked them in our enameled cast iron pan in tallow... MMMM!

When they were seared and cooked I added a few cups of sliced up mushrooms to the pan.

When they started to cook, I added in sliced spring onions and garlic.

Once they were browning nicely, I added John's delicious red wine, oregano, and red wine vinegar.

I took the steak out, let the sauce start to reduce and added butter.

It finished reducing the sauce while the steaks rested.

While all of this was going on, I also cleaned all the random leafy greens we had in the fridge.  Beet greens, rainbow chard, carrot tops...

I had another pan going that I used to saute onions and garlic for the greens.

Together, the steak with mushroom sauce and garlicky greens were a perfect match!
