Takeaway Wednesday: Monica & Andre's "Divorce Sauce"
Monica Mons responded to Rian's call for a delectable sauce that goes well with a steak. She calls it the "Divorce Sauce" - find out why below.
Monica wrote to us on Facebook saying her husband, Andre, makes the best sauce ever - and it is known as the "Divorce Sauce":
WE HAVE THE MOST AMAZING CHEESE, MUSHROOM, WHITE WINE SAUCE WE MAKE WITH STEAKS. It must be eaten with preferably gas prepared meat - and definitely nothing more done than medium rare. My husband created this sauce 35 years ago after he got divorced - our friends refer to this as THE DIVORCE SAUCE!

• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 150g button mushrooms, halved
