If you like a good steak, if possible from a coal fired barbie, then chances are you like Beurre Café de Paris “sauce”. And if you like a good steak, chances are you like a glass of good red wine to go with it…. Right??!! My recipe below combines both, which allows for an even better pairing of the meat and wine…
