Delicious, home made steak sauce

Bordelaise Sauce

In a heavy 1 quart saucepan over low heat, melt 1-2 tablespoons chilled, unsalted butter.  Add 1 tablespoon minced onion or one diced shallot until tender.  Stir in 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour; cook until lightly browned.  Add 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, a bay leaf, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper.  Slowly stir in one 10 ounce can beef broth and 1/2 cup hearty red wine.  Increase heat to medium-high' cook mixture, stirring constantly, until sauce boils and thickens.

Top your favorite steak with this lovely bordelaise sauce!  Pairs well with flank steak and filet mignon.
