Ingredients:

- 4 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 tablespoons flour

- 4 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 2 cups beef broth

- 1 cup red wine

- 1 tablespoon dried thyme

- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 tablespoon butter

Direction:

1. In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

 

2. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes a light golden brown.

 

3. Slowly pour in the beef broth and red wine, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

 

4. Add the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.

 

5. In a separate pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, pour the mixture into the sauce and stir to combine.

 

6. Continue to simmer the sauce for another 5-10 minutes, until it has reached your desired consistency.

 

7. Serve the bordelaise sauce over your favorite steak or roast beef dish. Enjoy!
