The Ultimate Bordelaise Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon butter
• 4 large shallots, peeled and sliced
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 cups veal stock
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the recipe.
2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add shallots and a pinch of salt, cook and stir for about 20 minutes until the shallots caramelize and turn brown, remember to stir occasionally.
3. Add red wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook until the wine has nearly evaporated, and the pan juices become thick and slightly syrupy. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Add veal stock, return to a simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes until the sauce is reduced by half and slightly thickened.
4. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a container. Press the residue in the strainer with a spoon to extract all remaining sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
