Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 tablespoons butter (or beef drippings)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (see Notes for gluten free or paleo)
  • ¼ cup red wine (or beef broth)
  • 2 cups beef broth (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • salt & pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • In saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter (or beef drippings) then sprinkle in flour. Whisk thoroughly until thin paste forms.
  • Vigorously mix red wine into flour mixture. Mixture will likely become purple and gooey. Continue cooking over medium-high heat for 2 minutes or until sharp alcohol smell is gone.
  • Slowly pour in ½ cup of beef broth. Whisk vigorously to combine.
  • Once beef broth is incorporated, pour in remaining broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring mixture to boil and cook 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
