BECOME A STUDENT OF OUR FRENCH ONLINE CULINARY SCHOOL TODAY! https://bit.ly/2KKgv1A The red wine sauce I am making today is not a bordelaise but the common Red wine sauce made in French bistro.
In france we call it the "Sauce Marchand de vin" which translate in to the wine maker sauce or wine merchant sauce. it gets its name for its simple and quick preparation that can by be done by anyone and also for its hearty / down to earth style which could be compared to a good winemaker.
what ever the story is, it is a delicious little sauce that I strongly recommend you try.
tips for cooking the meat: depending on how thick your piece of meat is you will have to time accordingly. but as a rough guide start by browning each side of the meat for 2 minutes on high heat. after that reduce the heat to medium low and let the meat cook further. My thick piece of meat took 12 minutes in total for a medium rare. However if you cut is thinner it will not take that long so be carefull
Hello everyone, welcome back. I am super excited today because if you look at my table
It's pretty obvious that we're gonna be using some lovely red wine. This is actually a Beaujolais
Village wine, which is a very classic famous French. It's not an expensive one. It's like a very hearty
You know common people type of wine that I really really love. The recipe of the day we're making is a ribeye steak
With a red wine sauce. We're not making the Bordelais which takes too long and you know, it takes a lot of money today
We're looking at the sauce Marchand de Vin, which is an alternative cheap and simple option of the red wine sauce, but it's equally delicious
Okay. So from what you can see on the screen
Over here the ingredients need for that recipe
Very few and so it's not a super complicated sauce
What I wanted to say or to tell you is read what kind of taste to expect from that sauce and mainly you're gonna have
like a red wine
Buttery shallot taste. These are the main taste, the main flavors you're gonna find in that sauce
Okay, with of course that nice meaty taste. To start off. I'm just gonna show you my garnish
This is really for the curious and you don't have to follow this. You can use any garnish you want
I'm using my special steel pan and I'm just gonna
Deep fry or shallow fry some lovely potatoes in here
I'm gonna put in plenty of oil and then I'm gonna add a bit of garlic and a bit of parsley
But you know, it's up to you to really do whatever you like
Hint of salt not too much with the salt and you have to be easy and just a bit of pepper
So when your potato gets a bit of color like this, I've removed the excess of oil
Don't worry, you know in France
We not always keep the oil, people get a bit scared and then I'm gonna mix my potatoes by hand because this type of pan
You don't use a spoon or anything. You basically take your potatoes and
By hand, you're gonna start breaking them by moving them in the pan
You know, this is the frying and tossing of the garlic so pieces can be go flying on the side. Don't worry
It's a bistro style. It's okay. All right now
It's been you know cooking a few minutes and I'm just finishing off with some fresh parsley on the top
And you hear that sizzle? That's perfect. And again
You know, I'm gonna be tossing around and make sure everything is nice and cooked and I'm gonna reserve this in a bowl
For later on to serve with my steak. And now we can start our meat
So as you can see here, I've got a beautiful
Ribeye steak it's very thick and that's gonna take approximately 10 to 12 minutes to cook. So it takes quite some time
I've got my pan here again the same frying pan a high heat and I've got four tablespoons of
Ground nut oil if you don't know what that is
This is it peanut oil and because that's very good for frying. So a very high heat when you
Oil reach the smoking point like here. You're gonna immediately
Put your meat in there. I've left this for two minutes and I'm gonna turn it over
You can see nice and brown color. That's what we want when this is done. I'm gonna put my chop
On a low fire on the low heat on the side to let it cook gently
So at this time you can use a timer and make sure you cook it for another eight minutes
At least to get a medium rare while turning it from time to time. Now that your meat is cooking
We're gonna start the shallots on the pan on the side. I take a nonstick pan. I'm gonna melt some butter
Okay, my butter is ready. So you put all of your shallots
Mix them well into the butter and don't worry if there's a lot of butter because we're gonna use this for the meat
And you're gonna let them on low heat
Just they just need to sweat. Okay, no coloration
Right when your shallots are ready
You're gonna filter that butter all over your meat. Okay
To infuse the meat already with that nice and strong shallot
Kind of taste when it's done put it back on the heat
After that you put your shallots in a little container and we're gonna reserve them for the end
My meat is now done. And the only thing left to do is to put it on a tray on the side and
You have to leave it to rest. So I'm putting a piece of foil
And I'm gonna be concentrating on my sauce. Right as soon as your meat is resting. I've put it in a warm
Oven just to keep it warm. Make sure it rest nicely. The first step you're gonna do is get rid of the excess of oil
Okay
So you just want to leave a little bit in there
And instead of the oil we're gonna replace that with a nudge of
butter
As soon as the butter is melted
add your shallots and
now I'm gonna be adding a
tablespoon of
Flour that's gonna make sure my sauce is gonna thicken. Time for the wine 20 centilitres
Yeah, and we're gonna boil this and
reduce this
to basically at least
until you get only a
few
tablespoon left
All right. Look at that. My sauce has greatly reduced. It's nice and thick and
From here, you're gonna basically be adding a pinch of sugar just to cut the acidity of the wine
Some salt is very important. Make sure you got enough salt a hint of pepper
Okay, so these are all the flavors is gonna go into your into your sauce you mix well
you can now put the heat off and
We're gonna put the final touch which is basically
a little bit of parsley and a tiny extra little bit of
Butter and this is has to happen off the heat when you got everything
You mix and when the butter has finished to melt we're gonna serve
Okay guys the table is served so this is basically a typical French table
I've got my potatoes on the side because this piece of meat I've got my lovely meat here and the way it's served
Usually it's in a dish, but you would put
All of your big steak on there because this is the most important and that dish is actually covered
In sauce so as much as we like to see
the meat in France
We cover the meat with our red wine sauce time for lunch
This is really look at these colors the replica of a typical bistro table
