- Increase heat to high, add wine to pan, and cook, without stirring, until liquid is reduced by half. Add stock, and cook until liquid is reduced by half.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons water and cornstarch, and stir into sauce. Bring to a boil, and cook until just thickened. Stir in salt and pepper; keep warm.
- Preheat grill to high heat (450° to 500°).
- For steaks: Brush steaks with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until a meat thermometer registers 130° (medium-rare) or to desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat, and let stand for 10 minutes. Serve steaks with sauce.
