Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a small saucepan, place the red wine, shallots, thyme, and bay leaf and set over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and continue to cook to reduce the contents to half of the original volume.
- Add the beef stock to the pan and bring the mixture up to a boil again.
- Using a tablespoon, skim and discard any foam that appears on top of the sauce.
- Continue cooking the Bordelaise by another 50% or until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon-otherwise known as having a nappe consistency. In total, the Bordelaise should have reduced by 75% of its original volume by now.
- Pour the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste. Use on grilled steak or slow-roasted beef and enjoy.

BORDELAISE SAUCE WITH MUSHROOMS
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!

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.

A CHEAT'S BORDELAISE SAUCE
Classic bordelaise sauce, which can transform shoe leather into strip steak, is made with veal stock, demi-glace and time -- a lot of time. Here, though, you'll use pan drippings from pork chops, simmering them with a red wine reduction until the two combine into an unctuous, rich sauce that flanks the old methods. Strain the whole thing, stir in a little butter and seasonings, and drizzle it over the pork chops. This takes most of a bottle of pinot noir, so choose the one you won't mind finishing off in the kitchen yourself, alone with your heat and creativity.

Steps:
- Pour the olive oil into a large saucepan, place over medium-high heat and add the shallot and garlic and then the thyme and bay leaf. Cook until the shallots are light brown, then add the wine, lower the heat and simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup.
- Add the pan drippings from the chops or the demi-glace if you have it. Simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes and then strain into a clean saucepan. Return to medium heat until warm and whisk in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately drizzled over the pork chops.
