Ingredients:  
2 medium carrots
1 small butternut squash
1 medium turnip
1 medium onion
25 ml (5 tsp.) unsalted butter
Salt (optional)
Freshly ground pepper
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) dry red wine
45 ml (3 tbsp.) balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
4 -150 g (5 oz.) halibut steaks, 2.5 cm (1") thick
Directions:
Directions:
1. Sauté the vegetables individually in a nonstick skillet in 1 tsp. butter, seasoning each batch with salt (if using) and pepper. Cook until tender. Cool the vegetables and then combine them.
2. Place the red wine, balsamic vinegar, garlic, bay leaf and thyme into a large sauté pan. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce by one-third (you should have about 250 ml / 1 cup remaining.)
3. Season the halibut steaks with salt (if using) and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, sauté the halibut in the remaining 1 tsp. butter. Turn over when caramelized and pour one-half of the wine reduction over the fish.
4. Finish cooking in a hot oven, adding more wine reduction as needed to baste the fish. When the halibut is cooked and flakes easily when tested with a fork (5 to 8 minutes), remove the steaks from the pan and keep warm.
5. Pour the remaining wine reduction into the pan and add the mixed vegetables. Place over high heat until the vegetables are heated through and are coated with the wine reduction. Adjust the seasoning.
6. Place the vegetables on a warmed serving platter. Arrange the steaks on top and drizzle the remaining pan juices over everything. Garnish with a grinding of fresh pepper. Discard the thyme sprig and bay leaf. Enjoy immediately. Serves four.
