GROUND SIRLOIN PATTIES WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Known as bifteck haché in France, this dish would go well with potatoes au gratin from the freezer case and buttered, lightly steamed spinach. End with chocolate mousse.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon plus 4 teaspoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
8 ounces ground sirloin
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup whipping cream

Preparation
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix in sirloin, thyme, salt, and pepper. Shape meat into two 3/4-inch-thick patties. Coat patties with flour, shaking off excess.

Melt 4 teaspoons butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer patties to 2 plates. Pour off any fat from skillet. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil until slightly thickened, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper; pour over patties.

Makes 2 servings; can be doubled.
