Bordelaise Sauce a La Virginia Hospitality

This easy sauce helped convince my brothers I could cook. This is the perfect accompaniment to Rare Roast Beef (a clone recipe is Thelma's Standing Rib Roast No Peek), steak or beef fondue. From "Virginia Hospitality" by the Junior League of Hampton Roads, VA.
