Elevate your next steak dinner...or burger...with a burgundy mushroom sauce laced with onion and garlic.
Hearty Burgundy wine is turning 50 this year and that deserves a celebration!
I was lucky enough to receive a limited edition bottle commemorating the anniversary. It contains the "original Red Blend," combining flavors ranging from dark berry to red plum and is matched as close as possible to the original blend for this wine. I'm a little nostalgic at the thought.
The first recipe that came to mind for this occasion is burgundy mushroom sauce.
Sweet onions, garlic and meaty mushrooms are sauteed and then soak up Hearty Burgundy wine while the mixture reduces to a sauce. You'd think such a rich tasting side would take a long time to prepare. But, it doesn't. The entire steak dinner takes about 30 minutes start to finish.
I love the out-on-the-town feel of this recipe! The steak is for my hubby. It's a great topping on burgers too. But, I'd be perfectly happy with just a big bowl of the burgundy mushroom sauce and a glass of Hearty Burgundy wine. 🙂
