directions

  • 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.

  1. W.O.W.!!!! We are still talking about our dinner last night - we ate at the best place in town: home! I served this sauce with prime sirloin cap steaks cooked at 132F for 5 hours, sous vide - it was so nice and tender. But this sauce, what a sauce! I had made a simpler version of Bordelaise sauce before, but this version was sublime! I was thankful that I cooked the steaks sous vide and that they could hang in the 132F bath so I could give full attention to making this sauce. With all the sauteing and simmering, this sauces takes a bit of time. I completed the sauce, then seared my steaks for an easy but scrumptious meal.

  2. Yummy sauce! Wanted to make a quick and easy dinner and this was it. Served this over hamburger patties. Can't wait to have this over steaks! Thanks for sharing, Lynn. Made for ZWT8 France.
