Ingredients Needed:

• 480ml demi-glace
• 60ml Madeira wine
• 14g unsalted butter
• 1 small shallot, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 5g flour
• 240ml beef stock
• 1 sprig thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper to taste

How To Make Madeira Sauce Recipe?

1. Sauté Shallots and Garlic: Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and aromatic.
2. Add Flour: Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until it turns golden brown.
3. Add Madeira Wine: Pour in the Madeira wine and let it reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Simmer with Stock: Add the beef stock, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Season: Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh shallots and garlic make the sauce taste much better.
• Be Patient with Reductions: Let the Madeira wine simmer until it’s halved for a stronger flavor.
• Stir the Flour: Stir constantly when adding flour to avoid lumps and keep the sauce smooth.
• Taste the Sauce: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
• Adjust Thickness: If the sauce is too thick, add a little beef stock to make it the right consistency.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Reheat the sauce on low heat in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Add beef stock if the sauce is too thick.
