Bordelaise Sauce With Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and shallot, and cook until the shallot has softened and turned translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, then stir in the mushrooms once the butter has melted. Cook and stir the mushrooms until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the beef broth, wine, and Worcestershire sauce; season with the bay leaf and thyme, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, season to taste with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, uncovered until the sauce reduces slightly, about 30 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water, and stir into the simmering sauce until thickened. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Steps:

• Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes.
• Add remaining butter and allow to melt. When melted, add mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms soften and begin to exude liquid, about 5 minutes.
• Add beef broth, wine, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer until reduced by about half, 45-60 minutes. Taste and correct seasoning if needed. (A splash of soy sauce instead of salt adds another dimension and is an alternative if needed.) Remove bay leaf before serving.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt the butter with the lemon juice over medium heat. Add the mushroom caps, cover, and cook, for 5 minutes. Add the olive oil, increase the heat, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until soft, 20 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Place the wine in a saucepan and reduce by 3/4. Add, shallots, peppercorns, bay leaf, thyme and demi-glace. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes and strain. Swirl in 2 ounces of butter. Use as a sauce over your meat of choice.
