Notes
- Red wine adds the best flavor to this sauce. If you substitute with beef broth, the sauce will be lighter in flavor.
- If there is a lot of fat in the pan from cooking the meat, pour off all except 1 tablespoon.
- This pan sauce thickens best in a large pan with lots of surface area. A smaller pan takes a long time to reduce.
- If you need to thicken the sauce further, mix 2 teaspoons corn starch with 2 teaspoons cold water. Whisk a little bit at a time into the simmer sauce to reach the desired consistency.
- Additional cold butter can be whisked in before serving if desired.
