Reprise
Parents in town, so I revisited a success of the past. The flaming step definitely alters the consistency of the sauce -- it gets more viscous and I think less dense (perhaps combustion products act as emulsifiers?). I overcooked the steaks a bit (juggling food for five is much harder than for two, and alters all my timings) but not fatally.
My mother threw together a salad -- arugula, baby lettuces, toasted pecans, raspberry vinaigrette, sliced apple -- that was a perfect complement to the steaks.
This recipe may have to move from the special-occasions category to being a more regular feature -- I could definitely stand to make this once a month, particularly now that I have salad insight for it.
