Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle steaks with pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat or
broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat
reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read
145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the wine, onion, raisins,
cherries and sugar. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by
half.

Combine the cornstarch, mustard, salt and water until smooth.
