Teriyaki Marinade

mix together (amounts are approximate)

1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c honey
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp crushed garlic

you can also add crushed chilli or sweet chilli sauce

place meat and marinade together and leave as long as you can (overnight is great)

hint: if meat is fresh (hasn't been frozen) mix with marinade in a bag and freeze until required

Red Wine Sauce

1 bottle of red wine, any vint.
Cornstarch, about a tablespoon or so.
Pepper, or peppercorns.
Beef Broth, 1 1/2 cups.

Warm the beef broth in a pot, slowly add some wine to the pot and let simmer for a few minutes. Pour yourself a glass now, before you use it all!

Sink some peppercorns, or add about 3 teaspoons of ground pepper to the pot, continue to simmer.

Mix your cornstarch in a cup, with warm water, DO NOT ADD DIRECTLY TO SAUCE. This causes lumps, which are pretty disgusting, and hard to boil out. Add slowly to the heated liquid. If it is too thick, add more wine. Too thin? Add more starch.

At this point, I usually taste to check flavour and add more wine, pepper or even mushrooms, depending on what I serve it with.

I frequently have this with fresh grilled steak and Portobello Risotto.
