481-Making Sauce Bordelaise

This simple sauce is easy to make and quite delicious with any type of red meat. In my opinion, it's best with roasted and sliced tri-tip steak. However, any cut will benefit from a little bordelaise sauce to dip in.

Basic recipe:

1 large finely minced shallot

4 tbsp good butter

2 cups of drinkable red wine

3-4 tbsp beef stock or demi-glace

salt and white pepper to taste
