  • Simple Red Wine/Shallot sauce for steak. Fry steak in pan until medium rare. Remove steak, pour two chopped shallots in the pan and saute in the steak drippings until soft. Pour in approximately 1/3 cup red wine. Stir and let simmer a few minutes to thicken. Pour wine sauce over steak. This has the added benefit that the wine dissolves a lot of the burnt-on drippings in the pan, making cleanup much easier.
