Grilled Wild Boar Steak with Red Wine Reduction Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 wild boar steaks (6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the wild boar steaks with salt and pepper on both sides, then brush with olive oil.
- Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare the red wine reduction sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the red wine and beef broth, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half and thickened slightly.
- Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, spoon the red wine reduction sauce over the grilled wild boar steaks and enjoy!
