BORDELAISE SAUCE WITH MUSHROOMS



Bordelaise Sauce with Mushrooms image

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!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons shallot, minced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup beef broth
⅓ cup red wine
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

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.

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 pounds large button mushrooms, halved

1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
1/3 cup finely chopped smoked ham (such as Black Forest)
2 large garlic cloves, minced

Add mushroom mixture and 1/2 cup mushroom soaking liquid, leaving behind any sediment. Cover and simmer until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally and adding more soaking liquid if mixture is dry, about 20 minutes. Add lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat before serving.)
  • Transfer mushroom mixture to serving bowl. Garnish with parsley sprigs.
  • Dried porcini mushrooms are available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and many supermarkets.
