Simple Steak Sauce image

A good Pan-Fried Steak can stand on its own, but sometimes a sauce gives it that extra oomph. To make this quick and easy pan sauce, you need just two ingredients: a liquid and a thickener, such as red wine and butter. From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).
