Flank Steak With Blueberry Sauce Recipe (2024)

You don’t need a fancy sauce to make a great steak, but it’s nice to mix up the flavors every once in a while.

A savory pan sauce with red wine and fresh blueberries give you a big punch of extra flavor and plenty of opportunities to get creative with the presentation, and the fresh flavor of the berries is nice with the richness of the meat.

Making a pan sauce like this is also convenient because it builds in some resting time for the steaks while you cook the sauce, which translates to much less temptation to start carving into them too soon. And you get all the steak flavor that might otherwise go to waste on the bottom of the pan.

Even with the sauce, this recipe would probably go with just about any classic side for steak – roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a side salad… go for an old favorite or have fun playing with the new flavor and experimenting with something different.
