Serve the braised steaks with the sauce spooned over them. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
For the best flavor, use a good quality Burgundy wine. A Pinot Noir would also work well.
Don't skip the browning step – it adds a lot of depth of flavor to the sauce.
If the sauce is too thin at the end of cooking, you can remove the steaks and simmer the sauce over medium heat until it thickens to your desired consistency.
This dish is excellent served with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
You can substitute beef broth for beef consommé, but consommé provides a richer, more concentrated flavor.

Jun 6, 2025The simmering time is key! Don't rush it. The longer it simmers, the more tender the meat becomes.
