Creamy Pepper Mushroom Steak Sauce

The first time my husband tasted this sauce, I thought he might go out & buy me something with diamonds in it!  He couldn't stop talking about it.  I'm thinking if you need to have a deep conversation with your husband, you should make this sauce & give it to him first!  

Okay, seriously...This flavorful steak topping embodies all that is good about a creamy sauce with all the benefits of great nutrients.  Mushrooms, coconut milk & apple cider vinegar all have such great nutritional value & here they get to join forces to make a sauce that you will want to lick out of the pan.  

Read here, why cooking with wine is safe for folks following a Paleo diet, but some will need to omit it - if this is you, just substitute extra beef broth.
