Shallot and Red Wine Beef Wellington Sauce

Directions

1. To begin with your beef wellington sauce recipe, add oil to a medium-sized sauce pan over high heat. Once hot, sauté your shallots for about three minutes until they become golden brown. Stir this while adding the garlic, rosemary, and ground black pepper. Continue cooking for three more minutes. Remember to stir often to keep the shallots from burning.
2. Next, pour in the balsamic vinegar and allow the mixture to cook until it evaporates and leaves a syrup. You can then pour in your wine and allow it to cook until it is reduced by two-thirds.
3. Then you can pour in the beef or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Turn down the heat and allow the sauce to simmer until it is once again reduced by two-thirds (about 1 cup). Next, remove the rosemary and garlic.
5. I prefer to do my sauce well in advance so as to allow plenty of time for preparation. To season, just add a little salt and then whisk in a teaspoon of butter.
6. If there are any juices left over from your steak, now is the time to add them in. You may then serve this delectable sauce poured over your beef wellington.
