Red wine sauce is really simple to make with just a few ingredients. Choose a red wine that you would drink, like a nice merlot or red zinfandel, both are good options. Red wine sauce will elevate any steak including sirloin, t-bone, tenderloin and ribeyes. The wine is also great to serve with your steaks.
