Rib-eye steaks with merlot-mushroom melange

"We had these wonderful steaks for our Valentine's Day dinner, along with roasted asparagus and rolls. Very good and very easy to fix. I found this in the Chicago Tribune's 'Dinner Tonight' column. If you can't get fresh wild mushrooms, you can use dried ones soaked in hot water for 30 minutes."

  1. Delicious rib-eye steaks, so easy to make. I like the idea of finishing them in the oven. The timing was perfect. The sauce was yummy, I used regular mushrooms as I couldn't find wild mushrooms. Thank you Judy for a delicious dinner.
     
  2. Perfectly delicious! This is a very good way to cook steak indoors. Thanks, Hey Jude for posting this one.
     
  3. wonderfully simple
     
  4. I'm not sure if I cooked this correctly, after I poured the wine in, it took 15+ minutes to condense and thicken, by that time the mushrooms and onions were completely soaked and soggy. I ended up throwing the muchrooms away (they tasted too much like wine) and had to cut up some more mushrooms to put in at the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Those turned out better. All in all, the sauce turned out okay.
