This is mouth watering good!  This sauce is a wonderful compliment to any meat you are serving.

Tonight when my husband grilled flank steak and I didn’t want to fix it in the same old way…wanted to try something different.  I decided to make this balsamic sauce for the meat, and I am so very happy that I did.  It turned out sooo good…it was definitely a great idea. Have you ever had one of those wonderful moments when you take a bite of the perfect food, and you just want to eat it in slow motion because it is so incredibly good?  This was one of those times.

This raspberry sauce added a depth of flavor to the meat.  The rich and silky sauce drizzled over the grilled meat was a wonderful combination.

 

I always stayed away from sauces, because I thought they were much to complicated to make…but as you can see, they aren’t…not at all.  And oh my, do they add to the flavor of so many dishes.  This is one I love making now and I really hope you will try it.
