In the midst of winter we crave comfort food. Though we limit our intake of red meat, the idea of steak with red wine mushroom sauce, sounds enticing just about now. Choose filet of beef for the healthiest choice. This recipe is easy and delicious.
My lifelong friend Lisa Gallina is quite the chef. We lived together right after college for a while and she cooked dinner almost every night. Lucky me!
She wrote last week to tell me that she made the BEST steak with red wine mushroom sauce using some of our Clover Honey as the star ingredient.
