Griff's American Steak with Shallot Wine Sauce

Here is an easy, but elegant, entree to serve at your dinner party. I grilled these on my kitchen counter a couple of weeks ago on my George Foreman electric grill. The steak tasted great and made a beautiful presentation.

Ingredients:

For the steak:

3 lb. (approx.) New York strip steak
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

For the Sauce:

2 tbsp. butter
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.

The steak:

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.
