Instructions
Prepare Steaks
- Preheat your grill until it’s really hot.
- Season the steaks with a little salt and pepper.
- The meat should be cooked approximately 3-4 minutes per side depending how you like your steaks.When done, slice the steaks into ¼ inch strips, fan out on a warm plate and add your wild mushroom sauce.
Prepare Wild Mushroom Sauce
- Melt butter in a sauce pan and sauté shallots until transparent, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add red wine, preferably something you may be sipping while you are preparing this meal. Don’t use plain old cooking wine, big mistake.
- Add mushrooms and cook until tender and wine has reduced to an essence.
- Add demi glace and stir (with a whisk if you have one) until combined with the shallots.
- Simmer until the sauce has thickened, approximately 8-10 minutes or until it is thick enough to coat a spoon.
- Salt and pepper to taste and serve over the steaks (and mashed potatoes if you like).
