Brown Sauce

Ingredients:
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1/2 cup red wine
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts to foam. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they become fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

2. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden brown, ensuring it doesn’t burn.

3. Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. This will create a smooth base for your sauce.

4. Add the red wine and Worcestershire sauce to the saucepan, stirring well to combine all the flavors. Let the mixture simmer gently over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken and develop its rich taste.

5. Season the brown sauce with salt and pepper to your preference. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, keeping in mind that the flavors will intensify as the sauce simmers.

6. Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solid bits, ensuring a silky smooth finish.

7. Serve your homemade brown sauce warm over your favorite dishes such as seared steak, roasted chicken, or sautéed vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, reheating gently on the stovetop before serving.
