Red Wine Sauce For Steak

I love a great steak on the grill. It’s so easy to make and yet feels like something special. We try to make dinner at home feel like special occasions sometimes, whether we’re entertaining or just enjoying a date night in.

How to Enhance Your Steak With Red Wine Sauce

Nothing makes a steak feel more special than an enhancement. I rarely order a steak off the menu without adding one. One little teaspoon of sauce adds so much flavor. Red wine sauce requires just 3 ingredients and can be prepared in advance.

3 Ingredient Red Wine Sauce For Steak

One of the cooking philosophies I live by is that a few incredible ingredients make a really incredible dish. Red wine sauce consists of butter, shallots and one of my favorites, Cambria Pinot Noir.

They reduce into a beautiful deep red wine sauce for steak that I can’t resist.

Secrets to Cooking a Perfect Steak

• Make sure to pick the perfect cut of meat from the butcher, the higher quality cuts will give you a more tender, flavorful steak
• Season the steak before cooking. If you have time, let the meat sit with the seasoning for a while before cooking to allow the spices to soak in.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure you’re cooking the meat to the temperature of your liking. Also, remember that the mean will continue to cook a little once you take it off the grill.
