Food: Red Wine Pan Sauce

inspiration

Red wine pan sauce. Yes.

First, cook your steak. For tips, check out my last post on steak.

Rest your steak on a plate under some tinfoil, then prepare your sauce in the same pan used to cook the steak.

Deglaze the pan with 1 1/2 cups red wine (Shiraz or similar). This means you will pour the wine into the pan and use a spatula to scrape the delicious meaty bits from the bottom.

Over medium heat, add one minced shallot and a few sprigs of thyme. If you don’t have thyme, use sage. If you don’t have sage, use rosemary. If you don’t have…you get it.

reduce, add herbs

Simmer the mixture until reduced by 3/4- this will take about 10 minutes or so. When the sauce has reduced, remove pan from heat and add 2 tbsps of cold butter to the pan.
