Basic Marchand de Vin Sauce
Marchand de Vin sauce is a French sauce made with red wine and beef stock. Add minced ham and mushrooms for a Louisiana-style version.
Ingredients
- 1 medium shallot
- 1 large garlic clove
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth, unsalted
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
- 1 small bay leaf
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Mince the shallot and garlic.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; add the shallot and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the shallot is tender.
- Add the flour to the shallot mixture and continue to cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the beef broth, wine, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf. Simmer over low heat until the flavors are concentrated and the sauce is thick, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
