Bordelaise Sauce Ingredients

Method

Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  4. 4

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Bordelaise Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Shallots

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

  2. 6

    Add Red Wine

    Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, which should take about 10 minutes.

  3. 7

    Add Beef Stock and Herbs

    Stir in the beef stock and fresh thyme. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. 8

    Season the Sauce

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  5. 9

    Serve the Meatloaf

    Once the meatloaf is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the Bordelaise sauce drizzled on top.
