4 years ago, we took a Carnival cruise with our best friends to celebrate our upcoming 10 year Wedding Anniversary! Just about every night for dinner I had a steak that had a delicious port wine sauce. I got to thinking the other day that I wanted to recreate it for dinner. And I did just that tonight as an early Valentine's Dinner for Nate and me. :)
I have never cooked anything with wine before. I don't even drink wine or drink any alcohol for the matter. I asked on facebook for some suggestions last week. I got a few answers on how to make the sauce which wasn't my question. LOL A friend said to get something cheap so I kept that in mind. While at Wegmans last weekend I looked at the port wine section. The $6 bottle looked good to me so that's what I put in the cart. It's by Sheffield Cellars: Tawny Port of California.
Nate opened the bottle for me and it smelled good. He tasted it and said it was really good. I made this port sauce with my port. I tasted it when it was almost done and it tasted pretty good.
I made flat iron steak, bacon asparagus and roasted red potatoes. It was all delicioous! :)
The steak and port wine sauce tasted very similar to the one I had on the Carnival cruise ship. Next time, I want to thicken the port sauce up some more so it's not as runny. Nate enjoyed it a lot. Perfect dinner for a snow day. :)
