Bordelaise Style Sauce With Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Place butter and shallots into a saucepan with pinch of salt; cook and stir shallots over medium-low heat until caramelized and browned, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add red wine and bring to a simmer.
• Reduce heat to low; cook until wine is nearly evaporated and pan juices are thick and slightly syrupy. Watch carefully, mixture burns easily. Add veal stock, return to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half and sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Pour sauce through a fine mesh strainer set over a container. Tap the strainer with a spoon while straining and squeeze out the last remaining drops of sauce from the residue. Season sauce to taste with salt and black pepper.

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:

• 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:

• 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.

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:

• Pound the scaloppine on a flat surface with a flat mallet. Do not break the tissues. Set aside.
• Slice the mushrooms thinly. There should be about five cups. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. When it is hot and almost smoking, add the mushrooms. Cook over moderately high heat until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are browned. Set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a heavy skillet. Dredge the scaloppine in flour seasoned with pepper. Cook the scaloppine, a few at a time, on both sides until lightly browned, about 45 to 60 seconds on each side. As they are cooked transfer them to a warm platter.
• Pour off the oil from the skillet in which the scaloppine cooked. Add the butter and when it is hot, add the mushrooms. Cook briefly, shaking the skillet and turning the mushrooms. Add the shallots and cook briefly, stirring. Add the wine and cook, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the skillet. Pour the mushrooms over the veal and serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
