Steak and Shrimp with Red Wine Shallot Sauce This rich and flavorful red wine shallot sauce elevates any steak and shrimp dish to restaurant quality! Sauce Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 shallots, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot) 1 cup beef broth 2 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into cubes 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat)
Sauce Instructions: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Pour in red wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the wine has reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes. Add beef broth and thyme. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in cold butter, one cube at a time, until the sauce is smooth and glossy. Do not boil. Stir in parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Serve immediately over grilled or pan-seared steak and shrimp.
