Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons butter
½ yellow onion, chopped
½ red onion, chopped
2 large shallots, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 roma (plum) tomato, chopped
1 pound carrots, chopped
¾ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
1 ¼ cups Merlot wine, divided

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir the yellow and red onion, shallots, garlic, tomato, carrots, and mushrooms until the onions are translucent and the carrots have softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and 1 cup of Merlot, and bring to a boil, scraping and dissolving any browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat, and simmer until the vegetables are very soft and the pan juices have reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
  • Strain out and discard the vegetables from the sauce. Return the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, stir in 1/4 cup of Merlot wine, and reduce heat. Simmer the sauce until it is reduced to 1/4 of its original volume, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.

I got these recipe ingredients from Chef Bruce at the Red Rooster Cafe in New Braunfels, TX. I serve this sauce with fresh blackberries from my dad's garden. Layer in a wine glass, sweetened whipped cream, berries, sauce, then more whipped cream. Top with a berry and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar. So good! They also use this sauce on their Monte Cristo Sandwich.

RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE



RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE image

Categories     Sauce     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
1 cup sweet onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, grated
1/2 stick butter
1 cup beef stock
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon A-1 sauce
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Saute onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons butter. Add 1/2 cup of hot beef stock. Simmer 10 minutes. Add the rest of the beef stock and butter; add the other liquid ingredients. Simmer 20 minutes. Season. Process in blender until smooth.

Tips:

  • Choose a dry red wine for the sauce, as sweet wines will make the sauce too sweet.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to reduce the wine, as this will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Stir the sauce frequently as it reduces, to help prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Be patient; it will take some time for the sauce to reduce and thicken.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove any solids from the sauce before serving.

Conclusion:

A red wine reduction sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a simple sauce to serve with grilled meats or a more complex sauce to use in a gourmet dish, a red wine reduction sauce is a great option.
