You can make this sauce without butter or demiglace, but the texture will be quite thin. Amazing Steak Recipes
How to Make It
Step 1
In a large skillet, sauté the mushrooms in the oil over high heat for about 10 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Step 2
In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the wine, mushrooms, shallot and demiglace. Boil over high heat, stirring occasionally until reduced to 2 cups, about 10 minutes. (To make the sauce with pan juices, discard the fat from the sauté skillet, add the reduced wine mixture and boil for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dissolve the browned bits.) Off the heat, whisk in the butter to make a thickened sauce. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
Demiglace is available at specialty food stores or by mail-order from More Than Gourmet (800-860-9392) or D'Artagnan (800-327-8246).
Serve With
Red meat, chicken or full-flavored fish.
Suggested Pairing
Try Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Merlot or the wine used to make the sauce.
