Wino Saur Wine Pairing

This recipe calls for grilled beef tenderloin steaks that go well with a garlic butter sauce. The strong flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon go well with this dish as well.

Ingredients:

• 1 bottle of red wine preferably Cabernet Sauvignon
• 8 oz beef tenderloin steaks
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp butter
• Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat your grill to high heat

Season the beef tenderloin steaks with salt and pepper

Drizzle olive oil over the steaks and rub to coat evenly

Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes

While the steaks are resting, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat

Add the minced garlic and shallot to the skillet and saut until fragrant, about 1 minute

Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer until slightly reduced, about 3-4 minutes

Stir in the butter until melted and well combined, creating a rich sauce

Slice the grilled steaks and serve them drizzled with the garlic butter sauce

Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and enjoy with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon
