(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Dressing/Sauces

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh garlic
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh sage
  • 1 cup dry Marsala
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook until beginning to brown, 3-5 minutes. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, bay leaf and sage; cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

  2. Deglaze pan with Marsala, scraping up any brown bits, and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

  3. Whisk together broth and cornstarch and whisk into sauce; simmer until thick, 5 minutes.

  4. Strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids. Return sauce to pan and heat oven medium-low; cook until reduced to 1 cup, about 5 minutes.

  5. Whisk in remaining 2 tbsp butter, one tbsp at a time, until emulsified. Stir in Worcestershire and season sauce with salt and pepper.
