Venison Steak With Reduced Cabernet And Sauternes Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 pieces turner venison steak
    4 cups cabernet sauvignon wine
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 onion (chopped)
    1 celery (chopped)
    4 garlic cloves (chopped)
    1 sprig fresh thyme
    1 small bay leaf
    1 sprig fresh parsley
    10 peppercorns
    1 tablespoon sauterne
    3 1/2 cups chicken stock or 3 1/2 cups veal stock
Preparation
    In a sauce pan, reduce the wine to a light syrup consistency, 30-45 minutes but keep an eye on it.
    In a medium saute pan, add oil, vegetables, and peppercorns. Cook until the vegetables are soft. Add garlic and continue cooking for a few minutes. Add sauterne and quickly deglaze pan.
    Add wine syrup, stock, thyme, bay leaf, and parsley. Reduce by a third, and pour sauce through a fine sieve. In a clean sauce pan, continue reducing until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
    Grill steaks under a broiler or on a ridged grill pan until rare to medium rare (i like rare), slice and serve with the sauce.
