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.

A traditional sauce Bordelaise has beef marrow in it; this recipe skips the marrow (which can be difficult to come by), but still tastes amazing. Serve this over steaks, hamburgers, or pork chops.

Steps:
- Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes.
- Add remaining butter and allow to melt. When melted, add mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms soften and begin to exude liquid, about 5 minutes.
- Add beef broth, wine, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer until reduced by about half, 45-60 minutes. Taste and correct seasoning if needed. (A splash of soy sauce instead of salt adds another dimension and is an alternative if needed.) Remove bay leaf before serving.

I used to visit the restaurant of a friend who was a chef. He made the best mushroom sauce for beef, but would not share his recipe. After trial and error, I think mine comes very close to his. This haute cuisine sauce makes everyday steaks or roasts into something a little more elegant. Serve atop grilled steaks, hamburger steaks, roasted beef or venison. Bon Appetite!
