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.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 Tbsp butter, divided
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
2 cups dry red wine
3 sprig(s) fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
10 peppercorns, crushed
1 pinch mace
1 cup water (or 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup beef broth)
4 slice beef rib steak, each about 1/2 pound
sea salt
4 sprig(s) fresh thyme, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat skillet over medium heat and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in skillet. Add the shallots and sauté for about 5 minutes or until almost soft. Add the wine, 3 sprigs fresh thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns and mace. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 10 minutes.

  • 5. Season each steak with a pinch of sea salt. Then brush melted butter over steaks, and place under broiler for 3 to 6 minutes each side (3 minutes for rare, etc, or as preferred).
