Red Wine Butter Sauce

This recipe comes from Suzanne Somers' book Eat, Cheat and Melt the Fat Away. We often serve this sauce over steak, with caramelized onions and sauteed mushrooms - it's so good, I could eat it with a spoon!

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Yields: 1 1/2 cups (approximately)

Ingredients

• 4  shallots, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup red wine
• 1⁄2 cup red wine vinegar
• 4  tablespoons heavy cream
• 1  lb butter, cut into 1 inch cubes
•  salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Combine shallots, wine, and vinegar in a saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until almost all the liquid has evaporated and becomes thick and syrupy.
3. Add heavy cream and mix well.
4. Increase heat to high, but don't let the sauce boil.
5. Add the butter and continue to whisk until all the butter is incorporated.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
7. NOTE: Don't cook with any wine you wouldn't drink!
