MASTER RECIPE: BEEF STOCK/RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE
This is an excellent reduction sauce that will compliment just about any cut of beef you choose to drizzle it over. In addition, it's excellent over a nice pile of garlic mash potatoes. I call this a "Master Recipe" because it can be used in so many creative ways. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.
