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.

The sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs next time.

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try using a dry red wine next time.

This Bordelaise sauce was a revelation! The rich, deep flavor of the red wine and shallots was perfectly complemented by the subtle earthiness of the mushrooms. I served it over a grilled steak, and it was absolutely divine.
