Treat Your Beef With Respect!
Enhance It with Bordelaise Sauce
A Real Restaurant Recipe
Would like a delicious Bordelaise Sauce to enhance a beef entrée? Congratulations! You have
exactly what you need.
My restaurant recipe for this sauce is both delicious and relatively easy to make. However,
it does take some time to cook (reduce). On the other hand, this restaurant recipe will give you
enough sauce to use several times over.
Use my Bordelaise sauce with roast beef, pork roast, sirloin steak or tenderloin steak! I do ... and
my restaurant customers approve. They have asked me for this restaurant recipe many times.
