Sauce Bordelaise is a classic French sauce named after the Bordeaux region of France, which is famous for its wine. Sauce Bordelaise starts with the demi-glas and brown sauce and then adds red wine, shallots, and bone marrow and is often served with wild game meats. It takes just a small amount of this sauce to perk up a simple, grilled steak or slow-roasted beef. In this video, Chef Mike provides an online cooking lesson for making a perfect Bordelaise sauce. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
