Red Wine Butter Sauce Recipes

PRIME RIB WITH RED WINE-THYME BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the butter: Combine the butter and thyme in a food processor and process until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Scrape the butter into a ramekin, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and the flavors meld, at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours.
• For the prime rib: Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator 2 hours before roasting. Pat the surface dry with paper towels. Make 8 small slits over the surface of the fat cap and fill each slit with a whole garlic clove.
• Place the roast on a large cutting board, then brush with oil and season heavily with salt and pepper 15 minutes before roasting.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the roast, bone-side down (fat-side up), in a large roasting pan fitted with a rack. Roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted into the center and ends of the meat registers 125 degrees F for medium-rare doneness, about 3 hours. Start checking the temperature after 2 hours.
• Transfer the meat to a cutting board with a juice groove. Pour off all but a few tablespoons of the fat from the pan, and place the roasting pan over two burners set to high heat. Add the shallots and the remaining 3 cloves chopped garlic, and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and vinegar and cook until reduced by three-quarters, about 5 minutes. Add the stock and peppercorns, and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Strain the sauce into a medium saucepan set over low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced a bit further. Slowly whisk in the cold thyme butter and cook until the sauce thickens (do not boil or the sauce will break). Season with salt and pepper. Finish with a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar and the chopped parsley to serve.

PRIME RIB WITH RED WINE-THYME BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the thyme butter: Combine the butter and thyme in a food processor and process until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Scrape the butter into a large ramekin, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and the flavors meld, at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours.
• Make the prime rib: Remove the prime rib from the refrigerator 2 hours before roasting. Pat the surface dry with paper towels. Make 8 small slits over the surface of the fat cap with a knife and fill each slit with a whole garlic clove. Let sit at room temperature.
• Fifteen minutes before roasting, place the roast on a large cutting board, brush with canola oil and season heavily with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the roast bone-side down (fat-side up) in a large roasting pan fitted with a rack. Roast 20 minutes.

(Start checking the temperature after 2 hours.)
• Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Pour off all but a few tablespoons of the fat from the roasting pan, then place the pan over 2 burners set to high heat. Add the shallots and the chopped garlic and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and a splash of vinegar and cook until reduced by three-quarters, about 5 minutes. Add the stock and peppercorns and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Strain the sauce into a medium saucepan and set over low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced a bit further.

Carve the meat; serve with the sauce and garnish with parsley.

BASIC RED WINE SAUCE FOR BEEF OR LAMB

Steps:

• Use this sauce with grilled or broiled steaks, or roasted pork or beef.

RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place 1 cup red wine in a small saucepan; boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat; add 2 tablespoons cold cut-up butter, and swirl pan until butter is melted and sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Season with coarse salt; serve with Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Generously sprinkle salt and pepper all over steaks, then let steaks rest uncovered for 15 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, mince the shallots.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add steaks and cook until done to taste, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare and a little longer for medium-rare or medium. (Bone-in steaks take a few minutes longer to cook through than boneless.) If the pan begins to smoke or burn, lower the heat. Transfer steaks to a plate to rest while you prepare the sauce.
• Add shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add brandy to the skillet and use a long-handled match or igniter to set the brandy on fire. (Stand back when you do this.) Let flames die out, then add red wine and cook until reduced and syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add stock and boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the chives. Serve steaks and sauce immediately with watercress.

RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallot in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Pour wine into saucepan; cook, stirring regularly, until reduced in volume by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir beef broth with the wine. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir butter and Italian seasoning into the sauce; cook until butter is completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Combine shallots, wine, and vinegar in a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until almost all the liquid has evaporated and becomes thick and syrupy.
• Add heavy cream and mix well.
• Increase heat to high, but don't let the sauce boil.
• Add the butter and continue to whisk until all the butter is incorporated.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• NOTE: Don't cook with any wine you wouldn't drink!

RED WINE BASTE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the red wine, butter, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, sage, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce, if desired. Stir all together well and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

RED WINE AND GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a deep pan (suitable to include the sauce and whatever you plan to serve the sauce with), heat the olive oil.
• Finely chop the onion and add the garlic finely chopped, sliced, crushed or a combination and fry until onion is cooked.
• Add the wine and bring to the boil, letting it boil for 30-40 seconds.
• Add the water, stock cube and chives.
• Mix until the stock cube has dissolved then reduce the heat.
• Simmer over a medium low heat for 10-15 minutes so that the liquid reduces by a quarter (approx).
• Season with salt and pepper and reduce the heat further.
• Mix the cornflour with a little cold water and stir into the sauce to thicken it slightly.
• Once the sauce is made, add the meat or veggies that you plan to marinade in it and leave it in there for 5 minutes to absorb the flavour.

RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour the fat out of the pan you cooked your steaks in, but don't clean it. Place the pan back on the heat with half the butter and the shallots and sizzle for 2 mins to soften. Stir in the flour and cook to a sandy paste, then splash in the vinegar and simmer for a moment. Pour in the wine and stir, scraping any sticky bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to the boil and bubble for a minute, then whisk in the mustard and then the stock.
• Boil the sauce down to about 200ml in total, then taste and season. Whisk in the remaining butter and the parsley, plus any resting juices from the steaks. Serve the steaks on warm plates and spoon the sauce over the top.

WHOLE ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH RED-WINE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place red wine, vinegar, shallot, peppercorns, and thyme in a small saucepan over high heat; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Generously season tenderloin on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed roasting pan over high heat. Carefully add tenderloin and transfer roasting pan to oven. Roast, turning every 5 minutes, until medium-rare (120 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), 12 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slowly whisk the cold butter into the warm wine reduction until emulsified. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a small saucepan; season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Remove tenderloin from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice crosswise; arrange slices on a large platter. Pour any juices that have accumulated in the roasting pan into the red-wine sauce and stir to combine. Serve beef accompanied with sauce.
