Delicious steak sauce ready in under an hour!
Ingredients:
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (3 medium)
  • 1 cup dry red wine (such as Merlot or Zinfandel) or nonalcoholic red wine
  • 1 cup beef broth (for homemade broth, see page 530)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Instructions:
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté shallots for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour in wine and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer over medium-high heat until the mixture coats the back of a metal spoon, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the broth and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking until the mixture coats the back of a metal spoon and slightly thickens, stirring constantly for 8 to 10 more minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, one tablespoon at a time. Lower the heat and stir in the vinegar, mustard, and pepper.
