Beef Bordelaise image

Posting this for safe keeping. Bordelaise is an classic French sauce that's traditionally served with grilled or broiled beef. But it's also great with other meats, and it can also be spooned over sautéed mushrooms. Bordelaise is named for the Bordeaux region of France, which is famous for its award-winning wines.

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 Tbsp butter, divided
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
2 cups dry red wine
3 sprig(s) fresh thyme
