Bordelaise Sauce image

I love this recipe. I'm posting it as I make it - I add more beef broth (not a huge wine fan, so I prefer the beef taste). However, if you prefer a stronger wine flavor, just use 8 oz of beef broth instead (that was the original recipe amount). I also put more green onions, but that's just because I love them! Really easy to make, too! Oh, and COMPLETE guess on the servings and cook/prep time.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon shallot, chopped (I use green onions)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 small bay leaf
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon parsley, chopped (I used dried)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine wine, shallot, thyme, and bay leaf.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer briskly, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until reduced by one-half.
  • Remove bay leaf and discard.
  • Combine beef broth and cornstarch.
  • Stir into wine mixture.
  • Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, then cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Add butter, lemon juice, parsley, and pepper.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • Serve over roasted potatoes or whatever meat you choose. I typically serve with chicken.
