Instructions
Flavor Step - After preparing meat set it aside and pour off the fat from the pan, leaving any meat juices behind. Add the olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Put in the garlic and shallots and sauté for 30 seconds. Increase the heat to high, add the mushrooms, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring from time to time. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Put in the artichokes, along with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and sauté the artichokes for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the stock and sage and bring to a boil. Reduce the sauce, stirring often, until it becomes syrupy. Stir in the red pepper strips and remove from the heat. Taste for salt and pepper.
