Manhattan Filet with Pan Sauce Bordelaise
This simple technique not only provides you with a NY strip steak that eats like a filet mignon but the trimmings are used to make a world-class pan sauce. Even if a faux-bordelaise isn't your cup of tea, you can always save the scraps for a Sunday sauce or meatballs. The overnight dry-aging step is optional but does add a little something extra to the final product.
