- Mix thoroughly. Return to fire and allow to brown.
- Add the flour off the flame and mix thoroughly.
- Return to fire and brown, stirring constantly until a nut brown color.
- Remove from the heat and blend in the boiling stock all at once. Quick Beef Stock For Use In Sauces
- Beat in tomato paste.
- Add the herb bouquet and simmer very slowly for 1/2 hour.
- If it thickens too much, add more stock.
- This should make about 2 1/2 cups of sauce, thick enough to coat a spoon lightly.
- Add brandy, salt and pepper.
- Bring up to a boil for a few seconds.
- Remove from the fire.
- Correct seasoning for salt and pepper.
- Strain.
- Ready to use.
- If not used immediately, clean the sides of the pan and float a bit of stock on top of the sauce to keep a skin from forming. Once cold, it can be refrigerated or frozen.
