Bordelaise Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Roasting the Bone Marrow

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the bone marrow in a roasting pan and roast for about 15-20 minutes until the marrow is soft and bubbling.

  2. 2

    Sautéing the Shallots

    In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Making the Sauce

    Add the red wine and fresh thyme to the shallots, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the wine is reduced by half.

  4. 4

    Incorporating the Jus

    Stir in the beef jus and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Finishing the Sauce

    Remove the sauce from heat and whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the roasted bone marrow. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
