A Simple Sauce for Dark Meat

If you enjoy the dark meat of poultry, venison or steak, here is a great sauce that is fast and easy to make, and tastes like something you would expect from a fine dining establishment!  Venison or a nice thick steak is my favorite for this recipe.

Ingredients:
1 cup of full-bodied red wine
3 Tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into 1/4 inch cubes. (Butter should be very cold)

Directions:
Sear your choice of meat in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet.  Remove the meat when finished and set aside under foil to keep warm.  While pan is still hot, add the wine to the pan and deglaze.  As soon as the wine begins to simmer, add the cubed butter and whisk continually until the sauce begins to thicken and reduce.

Plate your meat and add the amount of sauce you desire.  Sprinkle with cracked black pepper and enjoy!
