One of my favorite things about eating at a nice steakhouse is the abundance of amazing sauces you can order with your steak. I\u2019m the kind of person who doesn\u2019t just get 1 either and I\u2019ll be sitting there with 4-5 different sauces to drench my lovely steak in. So why should that be any different when cooking a delicious steak at home? This recipe is for a classic Red Wine sauce, with a lovely reduced wine cooked with beef stock for a rich and velvety sauce

Red Wine Sauce – Sweet or Not Sweet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now the classic Red Wine reduction is quite a simple dish to prepare, shallots, wine, stock and butter. However, I\u2019ve always found when I\u2019ve followed this classic recipe the sauce doesn\u2019t come out as rich and sweet as I personally like it. When I think of Red Wine Sauce I think of a rich, dark burgundy colored sauce which has a lovely, sweet stickiness to it. So, this recipe follows the classical approach. However, there is an optional element of adding sugar to get more of that sticky, sweetness. If you\u2019re not a fan of sweetness and want a more classic sauce, then simply don’t add any sugar! Below we’ve got a bit more detail on how to best do this

The rule of thumb for Red Wine Sauce – always use a bottle of Red Wine you would be happy to drink yourself. If there’s any leftovers, you can always drink it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
