Ruby Port Sauce Recipes

PORT WINE SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the shallots briefly until translucent (approximately 3 minutes).
• Deglaze with the Port and red wines and reduce until most of the wine has cooked off, (approximately 5 - 6 minutes)
• Add the demi glace, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and thyme and simmer for approximately 5-6 minutes (or until the sauce has thickened).
• Strain the sauce, add the heavy cream (if desired), and return to a simmer for a few minutes and serve.
• The optional heavy cream gives the sauce a richer color and additional flavor.

RUBY PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Once the butter foams, toss in the shallots and garlic, and sauté until soft and tender, about 3 or 4 minutes. Pour the port and beef stock into the saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Let reduce for about 20 minutes, or until you have about 2 cups of brothlike sauce. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter for a touch of added thickness and gloss. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

LAMB CHOPS WITH PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. Coat the bottom of a large, ovenproof frying pan with the oil and heat over med.-high heat. Add the chops and sear them until both sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Place the pan in the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 130 degrees F., or the meat is deep pink near the bone for med. rare, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and cover with aluminum foil and set aside.
• Drain off all but 1 tablespoons of the drippings from the frying pan. Add the shallots and garlic and saute, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes. Add the Port and stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced b half, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Whisk in the mustard and then the butter. When the butter has melted and the sauce is smoot, season with salt and pepper. Slice the chops in to individual pieces, spoon on the sauce, and serve immediately.

NEELYS' PRIME RIB WITH RUBY PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mash the garlic and salt with a mortar and pestle until a paste is formed. Add the rosemary, and smash all together. Scrape the paste into a small bowl along with the olive oil, black pepper, and crushed red pepper.
• Spread the herb-and-garlic paste all over the meat. Cover with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 8 hours. Allow the meat to come to room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before roasting. (This will ensure even cooking.)
• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Adjust a rack to the middle of the oven.
• Remove the plastic wrap, and place the meat in a large roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees, and continue to cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast without touching the bone reads 125 degrees for medium rare, or continue to cook until it reaches 130 to 135 for medium, about 2 hours and 20 minutes more.
• Remove the roast from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
• Serve with the ruby port sauce (recipe follows).
