Sauces and Salsas for Steaks

A great steak can hold its own, but even for dyed-in-the-wool steak lovers, the taste can get just a little monotonous after the fifth or sixth piece. Ketchup, of course, is simply out of the question. But something with a bold flavor to match a grilled piece of meat can be a welcome change every few bites.

Besides, there’s usually some form of potato sitting at the edge of the plate, forlorn and waiting for a friend.

Of course, you can use these with any kind of grilled, broiled or pan-cooked beef; I just went for the alliteration in the title.

Sweet honey, spicy mustard and just a hint of bite from the onions make this a delicious accompaniment to grilled or broiled meat.

Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons margarine
  • 75 grams mushrooms sliced
  • 10 grams shallots minced
  • 225 mililiters red wine
  • 150 mililiters water or stock
  • 100 grams tomatoes cubed
  • 5 grams tarragon fresh

Directions

If you've just pan-seared a steak, use that pan instead of a saucepan. The fond stuck to the bottom of the pan will enhance the flavor of the sauce.
  1. In a pan, heat the margarine over medium heat until slightly bubbling. Add the mushrooms and shallots and sauté until the mushrooms are soft and the shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the wine, continue cooking until the liquid boils, then lower the heat and simmer until the 3/4 of the liquid has evaporated.
  3. Add the water or stock and the diced tomato, then lower heat to a simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chopped tarragon and serve right away.
