Sirloin Steaks With Red Wine Berry Sauce

cookiedog's Note:

Yep, it's that good. And although it sounds fancy, it is really easy to make. Throw a couple of potatoes in the oven, roast some asparagus and sit down to an incredible meal- candelight optional. From a little recipe card I found at the grocery store.

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• ¾-1 lb sirloin (cut into 2 steaks)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt
• fresh ground pepper

Sauce

• 1 tablespoon butter
• ¼ cup minced shallot
• 1 cup red wine
• ¼ cup raspberry jam
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon herbes de provence (I used a combination of basil, oregano, and thyme)

Directions:

1. Cut Sirloin into 2 steaks: season to taste with salt and freshly gournd pepper.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks to skillet and sear well on both sides. Reduce heat and cook for 3 to 5 more minutes on each side or until steaks are cooked to your liking. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
3. Add 1 tablespoon butter and shallots to skillet. Saute over medium heat until soft or until soft and lightly browned. Stir in red wine, raspberry jam, dijon, and herbs de Provence. Cook over medium high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick and syrupy and reduced by half. Serve sauce over steaks.
