Amy's Bordelaise Sauce For Steak & Burgers
Recipe: #17278
February 08, 2015
"Bordelaise Sauce is a basic French Sauce based on wine and beef broth. It is great over steaks and burgers. Amy (From Amy's Cooking Adventures Blog) puts it over a steak, then tops the steak and sauce with 2 slices of bacon and a fried egg for a breakfast delight, but I know I would like it on steak along with a baked potato and sour cream and some kind of veggie as a main meal. You could also top a burger or cheeseburger with the sauce and add bacon and an egg and have a super breakfast sandwich, or leave off the egg and enjoy a great burger for lunch. No matter how you have it, I am sure you will enjoy it! I am posting it here for safe keeping because I am going to try it soon for sure!"
