Bordelaise Sauce

A classic French sauce named after the Bordeaux region of France. It has a lot of flavor so you only need a small drizzle on meat, for example.

4 Large Shallots, Peeled and Sliced
1 Pinch Salt
1 Cup Red Wine – preferrable Bordeaux

  2. Add red wine and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low; cook until wine is nearly evaporated.
  3. Add beef stock, return to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half.
  4. Pour sauce through a fine mesh strainer.
