Ingredients

  • 50g Butter

  1. Add the meat to a hot pan to add colour, add the butter and baste the meat until the pan has a glazed flavour and colour.
  2. Take out the meat and add the red wine to the pan along with a good pinch of salt and the chocolate.
  3. Drop the heat and let the chocolate melt, add the 300ml of chicken stock and turn the heat up until the sauce starts to bubble and reduce.
