directions
Step 1
Grill the steak to your satisfaction and set aside to rest.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the onions until golden brown. Be sure to season with salt and pepper. Stir frequently to avoid burning the onions.
Step 3
Deglaze the pan with the red wine and stir with a wooden spoon to get all the flavour that may be stuck on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the liquid to half and add the package of powdered demi-glace. Add water and thyme. Let the sauce gently boil for 2 minutes at medium heat. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Stir in the Canadian Cheddar with the butter. Discard the sprig of thyme.
Step 5
To serve, pour the sauce over your perfectly cooked steak.
