Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of Bordeaux wine with 1 tablespoon each of whole black and white peppercorns. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the mixture to reduce by half, about 10–15 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, add 1 finely chopped shallot and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Once the wine is reduced, strain it into the skillet with the sautéed shallots. Stir well and simmer together for about 2 minutes on low heat.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon each of Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, then let simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Taste the sauce and season with salt to your preference, then remove from heat.
