PRÉPARATION

Marinade

1. Mix all ingredients in the marinade and marinate steaks a minimum 3 hours or overnight.

Sauce

1. In a pot, brown the shallot in oil over medium-high heat. Add the honey, fortified red wine and plums. Simmer 10 minutes over medium heat. Add the veal stock and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning.

Steaks

*Tip

Most butcher shops sell their own meat stock or homemade demi-glace. Choose this option over commercial meat stock to obtain uniquely flavoured sauces.
