Bordelaise sauce
Bordelaise sauce is a classic French wine-based sauce made with dry red wine, shallots, bone marrow, demi-glace, and butter. It delivers a rich, slightly tangy, and savoury taste that enhances beef, lamb, and game meats. Known for its luxurious flavour and glossy texture, it is often served in fine dining settings.
Notes
- If demi-glace is unavailable, substitute with beef stock and a splash of balsamic vinegar for depth.
- Bordelaise sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving.
