Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup butter
1 small onion, sliced
¼ cup sliced carrots
¼ cup sliced celery
25 peppercorns
16 whole cloves
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup beef broth
¼ cup water, as needed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup red wine
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
¾ cup sliced mushrooms

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, carrots, celery, peppercorns, and cloves in melted butter until onions are browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir flour into the onion mixture; cook and stir until the flour is completely moistened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stream beef broth into the skillet while stirring the onion mixture; cook, stirring continually, until the broth thickens into a gravy, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water to thin the gravy as needed to keep it from becoming paste-like.
  • Stir 1 tablespoon parsley into the gravy; continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the parsley imparts flavor to the gravy, 5 to 10 minutes; strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean saucepan. Discard vegetables.
  • Place the saucepan over low heat. Season sauce with salt, pepper, and most of the remaining parsley. Stir red wine into the sauce.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms in hot oil until completely tender, about 5 minutes. Stir mushrooms into the sauce; garnish with remaining parsley after spooning over steaks.

BORDELAISE SAUCE



Bordelaise Sauce image

Bordelaise sauce is based on a classic brown sauce that involves roasting meat bones until very brown before being simmered in liquid. For a quicker variation, stir up this simplified version, which eliminates the bone-roasting step yet still provides great flavor. It's the perfect match for beef roasts, pork roasts, chops and even burgers.

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced (optional)
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups mushrooms, sliced fresh
1 cup beef broth
1/3 cup red wine
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon thyme, chopped fresh, to taste
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Stir in the garlic and shallot, and cook until the shallot has softened and turned translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, then stir in the mushrooms once the butter has melted.
  • Cook and stir the mushrooms until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the beef broth, wine, and Worcestershire sauce; season with the bay leaf and thyme, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Once simmering, season to taste with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, uncovered until the sauce reduces slightly, about 30 minutes.
  • Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water, and stir into the simmering sauce until thickened.
  • Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Tips:

  • To make a flavorful sauce, use high-quality red wine and beef stock.
  • If you don't have time to make your own beef stock, you can use a good-quality store-bought stock.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of red wine. A bold, flavorful red wine will give the sauce a richer flavor.
  • Be patient when reducing the sauce. It takes time to develop its full flavor.
  • If you're making the sauce ahead of time, let it cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.
  • When you're ready to serve the sauce, reheat it gently over low heat.
