Williams Sonoma Braising Sauce, French Bordelaise

Flavour Profile

• Red wine, sweet onion, shallots.

Why We Love It

• Inspired by the flavours of Bordeaux, our rich, savoury braise is perfect for a beef roast, short ribs or lamb. We gently simmer Merlot wine and Worcestershire sauce with roasted sweet onions, shallots, soy sauce and Dijon mustard, fragrant garlic and black pepper. Prep is easy – just combine this time-saving sauce with meat in a slow cooker, pressure cooker or Dutch oven, then serve with crusty bread.
• A Williams Sonoma exclusive.
