2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper

4 cloves minced garlic
2/3 cup beef broth
2/3 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup chopped shallots
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. chopped chives

For the Topping:

2 tbsp. chopped chives

Instructions:

The sauce:

In a sauce pan, heat the butter over low heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and chives and sautee until shallots are tender. Then add the broth. the wine and the vinegar. Stir everything together and bring to boil. Then turn down heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Sprinkle half of the ingredients for the steak on each side, while grilling. When steak is cooked to your preference, top with the wine sauce and 2 tbsp. fresh, chopped chives when serving.

After using How to Make Restaurant Quality Sauces at Home, Susan Davidson, of Seattle, Washington, wrote: "I don't have a lot of time to spend on making dinner except for every now and then, so the recipes I choose have to be relatively simple. Last weekend I decided to try the Peppercorn Sauce using the Demi-Glace Gold. I served it over a cut of ribeye steak, along with the rosemary/sage red skinned potatoes recipe using the Graisse de Canard Gold and a side of Caesar salad. This meal was like nothing I had ever made before. The Peppercorn Sauce was easy to make and out of this world. It was laced with richness, full of complex flavors, and absolutely delicious. It tasted more like something I would enjoy at a 5-star restaurant rather than something I whipped up in my kitchen for the family."

Griff's American Glazed Spiral Ham

I did this one for Christmas day, but I plan to do another one this month too! This is easy, but delicious, with complex, wonderful layers of flavor.

Ingredients:

1 fully cooked spiral cut ham (approx. 9 lb.)
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. yellow mustard
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. prepared horseradish
1/2 tsp. ground, dried mustard
1/4 tsp. ground clove

Instructions:

Put all of the ingredients except the ham into a sauce pan. Slowly bring ingredients to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat immediately. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove all packing materials from ham and place, flat side down, in an open, shallow roasting pan. Do not cover. Bake for about 1/2 hour at 325 degrees F. Remove ham from oven and brush glaze on ham and in between slices. Put ham back in oven and continue to bake at 325 degrees F for another 30 to 60 minutes, or until internal temperature is 140 degrees F. Remove ham from oven and increase temperature to 425 degrees F. Brush ham again with glaze, on top and in between slices. Return ham to oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Remove, serve, and enjoy!
