beef with fresh huckleberry sage sauce
Serves: 2
 
This recipe for grilled beef tenderloin steak with a huckleberry sage sauce is the perfect combination of sweet with savory.
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely minced + more for garnish
  • 1 cup fresh huckleberries + more for garnish
  • 3 tablespoons sugar, or sweetener of your choice
  • ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup robust red wine (I used Zinfandel)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 pound beef tenderloin steak
  • Arugula
  • Fresh figs, quartered
Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a small sauce pan.
  2. Add onion and sauté until starting to turn golden. Add sage and stir for 1 minute.
  3. Add huckleberries, sweetener, red wine vinegar and wine. Bring to boil and then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, around 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile heat grill on high heat. Dry steaks with paper towel and season liberally with salt and coarse ground black pepper.
  5. Grill until desired doneness. For me, that was about 7 minutes per side (the steaks were very thick) for a medium steak.
  6. Let steaks rest for 10 minutes. Slice across the grain into strips.
  7. Place a couple big handfuls of arugula in a bowl. Toss lightly with olive oil and salt. Place on a serving platter.
  8. Top with sliced steak and then huckleberry sage sauce.
  9. Finish with a sprinkling of salt and garnish with fresh figs, fresh huckleberries, and sage leaves.
  10. Serve immediately.
