Gourmet Steak Sauce

Category: SAUCES/MARINADES

Ingredients:

2 Tbl butter or ghee

2 Tbl minced shallots

1 cup of sliced mushrooms

3 Tbl of white vermouth

2 Tbl of brandy

1/2 cup of demi glace* (you can find this in the chilled section of higher-end grocery stores, or you can buy on line. At some stores it might be in the freezer section too. Look for it in plastic tubs).

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp of a combo of dried parsley, oregano and tarragon

Directions

Melt butter. Add the shallots. Cook until loosened. Add the mushrooms. Cook on medium until they begin to brown around the edges. Carefully add vermouth and brandy. If adding liquor makes you nervous take the pan off of the flame and add it. Then put back on the stove. Always be careful when cooking with liquor. Add the demi glace and seasonings. Cook on medium high until slightly reduced.

Serve with steak or would also be great with lamb, pork or chicken.
