Hi all-

I am making beef wellington for christmas and would like to serve a classic reduced wine sauce.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Start with a decent bottle of red wine and reduce by half, then add a really good veal or beef stock, shallots, some Black pepper corns, 1 sprig rosemarry and 1 sprig of thyme and reduce that by half. Strain, season and serve. Enjoy :biggrin:

A Maderia sauce would be traditional with Beef Wellington: saute shallots, deglaze with red wine, add Madeira, pepper, spring of thyme (some also like bay), reduce, season, add demi, remove herbs, season, monter.

Add truffles to make it a Perigord sauce if you're feeling flush; that's a really classic pairing for Beef Wellington.
