Paula another Winner! Used this sauce for DS homecoming steak dinner and he loved it!!! WOW and WOW! Such flavors from so few ingredients and such a quickie to make! I did use lots of carmelized onions (double) as we don't do mushrooms but love onions. I plan to use this sauce on a pork loin or chops as well. The flavors were robust but nor overpowering, you could roll the flavors around in your mouth with each bite but you tasted the steak first. Wonderful! Made for AUS/NZ Swap #44

We're used to do our steaks on the bbq. This recipe proves that it can be great even if it's not cooked on a bbq. We really liked it. The sauce is amazing. The taste is perfect. Thanks Paula :) Made for the Recipe Swap in the Australian forum

Okay, so I made this dish, did the review, woke up this morning and glanced at the recipe and thought water? what water? I guess that's why I had to double all the other sauce ingredients to feel like there was enough sauce. It was good anyway. Probably a little stronger than it would have been if I were able to follow a 6 ingredient recipe. Any way, we loved it. My husband chopped up his caprese salad in little pieces and topped the meat with it and felt that it was even better that way. Thanks Paula.
