SERVES: 4 | COOKING TIME: 20MINS
Ingredients
250g Shallot, sliced
4 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, lightly crushed
sprig rosemary
Rosemary
5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Balsamic vinegar
400ml red wine
400ml beef stock or brown chicken stock, preferably homemade
knob of butter
Butter
Method
Sauté the shallots in a medium saucepan with the oil over a high heat for about 3 mins until lightly browned, stirring often. Season with ground black pepper and add the garlic and rosemary. Continue cooking for a further 3 mins, stirring often to prevent the shallots burning.
Pour in the vinegar and cook until evaporated away to a syrup, then pour in the wine and cook until reduced by two thirds.
Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until reduced by two-thirds again, to around 250ml. Remove the garlic and rosemary. Add a little salt to taste and finally ‘monte’ (whisk) in a knob of butter. Add any juices from the steaks just before serving.
