Summer is here, so does the grilling begins. Not that we don’t grill in winter,but not as much as we do in summer. Enjoy your late summer nights and skip all those waiting lines in restaurants by grilling this tender juicy steak . Mushroom wine sauce is little lighter and smoother then the Cabernet sauce. My personal preference is the Cabernet sauce so is my husbands.So choose your style and let the meat sizzle.
* Mushroom sauce will be great on chicken breast also.
