Red Wine Steak Sauce @3:05
Ingredients:

2 vegan “steaks” (recipe link in video & on my channel)

salt and black pepper to taste

1 large shallot, minced

3/4 cup vegan red wine (Trader Joe’s Charles Shaw Red is vegan)

2 to 3 tablespoons vegan butter (I use Melt or Earth Balance)

Side of your choice (I made smashed red potatoes seasoned w/butter, salt & pepper, onion & garlic powder and Trader Joe’s Truffle Mushroom powder and haricot vert)

Instructions:

Prepare vegan “steak” according to video, place in warm oven to keep it warm while you prepare the red wine sauce. Reserve the drippings in the skillet.

Add the shallot to the drippings and cook over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, about 7 minutes; remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time to make a glossy sauce, keep whisking so the sauce doesn’t break. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Take “steak” out of the oven, place in red wine sauce and spoon sauce over “steak” a couple of times to get it hot and so the wine penetrates the “steak”. Serve sauce in a ramekin or pour over “steak” and potatoes. Enjoy!
