WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE
Melt butter in a sauce pan and sauté shallots until transparent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add red wine, don't use cooking wine, big mistake. Add mushrooms and cook until tender and wine has reduced to an essence. Add Demi-Glace Gold and stir with a whisk until dissolved. Add hot water and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste and serve over the steaks.
NOTE - *If you can't find Demi-Glace Gold, you can substitute 1 cup of homemade demi-glace or 2 cups veal stock reduced by half and forget about the cup of hot water.
