OK, so a friend told us to try this after watching an episode of SL. What a BAD choice. The steak was ruined and the chocolate merlot sauce was hideous. It was better to pour on the driveway to fill in potholes, than to put on food. Not good at all.

I didn't bother with the taco seasoning on the steak (I'm a purist but figured the sauce was worth a shot. Some good quality chocolate and a decent bottle of merlot ought to make the difference, right? Boy, was I wrong. The concept is good, but the reality was terrible. Too much onion, too much chocolate. Maybe amping up the merlot and scaling back the chocolate by a factor of 2 or 3, and you'd have something worth talking about. Like this? I'm gonna have to advise you to stay far away.
