sirloin with red wine sauce

INGREDIENTS

Sirloin:
1/2  cup dry red wine
1   sirloin steak (about 1-1/2 pounds, 1 inch thick)
1/2  teaspoon salt
1/4  teaspoon black pepper

Sauce:
2   cups dry red wine
1/2  cup beef broth
2   teaspoons Dijon mustard
2   teaspoons sugar
1/2  teaspoon onion powder
1/4  teaspoon salt
1/4  teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2  tablespoons all-purpose flour mixed with 3 tablespoons water

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat grill or broiler.

Sirloin:

1. In resealable plastic food-storage bag or glass dish, combine red wine and sirloin; seal bag. Marinate steak at room temperature for 15 minutes. Remove sirloin from bag. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.

Sauce:

1. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, whisk together wine, broth, mustard, sugar, onion powder, salt and pepper. Bring to simmering over medium-high; simmer until reduced to about 1-1/4 cups, 20 minutes.
2. Grill or broil sirloin for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness. Flip steak over; grill another 3 to 5 minutes or until internal temperature registers 145 degrees F on instant-read thermometer for medium-rare. Transfer to cutting board; let stand 5 minutes.
3. Stir flour-water mixture into red wine sauce; simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes.

To serve:

1. Cut sirloin across grain into thin slices. Drizzle with red wine sauce. Serve warm. Makes 4 servings.
