This is awesome sauce at its finest. Use this sauce to finish off a steak or filet mignon and you will be in heaven. Drizzle it warm on a nice salad and you will swoon. This is something I assembled through trial and testing over a couple of weeks. And like any good recipe is it about good ingredients, proper proportions, and love. I am proud of this one. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
