"This is a short-cut for demi-glace or espagnole made with beef gravy or brown gravy. It is called Bordeaux, but any dry red wine will suffice. It is a sauce made from Demi-glace and Red wine. You can also add sauted mushrooms to add a simple item to take it up a step"

I used a can of rosbif gravy (but only 1/2 cup). I used merlot dry red wine. The sauce is very easy to do. Very tasty. We all liked it even my son whch surprised me because of the wine. But I didn't tell him there was wine. Thanks threeovens :) Made for ZWT8 for the Diners, Winers and Chives.
