Raspberry and Red Wine Steak

Summer is in the air and so is the smell of steak and wine…and raspberries. Yes, raspberries! The next time you make steak, incorporate some berries. We had leftover raspberries from our Huckleberry Lemonade and we’re planning to make steak. So we ended up throwing them into the skillet, making raspberry and red wine steak dinner. I’m not a fan of raspberries – they’re too tart for me – but Fatima loves them, and she’ll just eat them right out of the container.

The combination of red wine and berries added a sweet and refreshing dimension to the steak. I highly recommend trying this the next time you make steak – would make a great summer evening meal.

If you can take the time to marinate the steak, do it. The key to a great steak is the marinade and the way you cook it (i.e. with butter). The red wine marinade will help enhance the flavor of the steak and the red wine-raspberry sauce you’ll be preparing later.
