    1. Remove steaks and set aside, covered, and cook sauce until flames are out. Once it’s been extinguished, add wine and stir to remove any sediment and bring to a boil. Reduce volume by half.

    1. Add chicken base mixture and reduce again to make a thick sauce. Now cream in butter with heat off.

  1. Pour sauce over steaks to serve.
