Sirloin with Red Wine Sauce

Who doesn't love a good hearty tasting peace of steak? Well a vegetarian or a vegan, but those guys probably stopped following after the first recipe I posted. Anyways, the first thing to kill a nice tasty healthy steak is a fatty, calorie packed sauce to pour over it.  Here's a sauce that can help make your tasty piece of meat even tastier!
Ingredients
1cup dry red wine
1 shallot minced
4 Tbsp butter (we use the can't believe its not butter, butter)
1tsp rosemary
6 oz steaks (sirloin, flank, skirt or filet)

Cooking steak is really a personal opinion. Brock and I usually like our steaks, and all of our meat for that matter, medium. So make sure you cook your steak to how you enjoy it the most.

Just to give a forewarning, this one was a little tricky. In a small saucepan combine the red wine, and shallot. The recipe says to simmer until the wine becomes a syrup-ie sauce and reduced to about 2 tbs. However, I recommend just straight up boiling it unless you want it to take sometime. Once its boiling, it will take a good 10-15 minutes. After the liquid has become syrup like combine with rosemary and butter. You are technically supposed to let the mixture refriderate so that its almost like putting a slice of butter on your steak, but I didn't realize that so I just poured the mixture in little cups to dip our steaks in. And honestly it was actually pretty tastey!!! 

This meal has 380 calories and 19g of fat per serving. One serving is equivelant to a quarter slice of the red wine-butter sauce and 1 6oz steak, its also packed with protein. So indulge my friends and Feast On!!
