Ready Time 0 min 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.
