Marchand De Vin, also known as Mushroom Wine Sauce, is a classic French sauce made with a base of beef bones, red wine, and mushrooms. It's a rich and hearty sauce that pairs well with meats like beef, lamb, venison, and pork, as well as vegetables like roasted carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms. This scratch-made version of Marchand De Vin uses roasted bones and vegetables to create a deep flavor base for the broth, which is then simmered with aromatic vegetables and herbs. The addition of sautéed mushrooms, tomato, and red wine create a complex and savory flavor that is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy weeknight dinner.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.Spread the beef bones, unpeeled onions, unpeeled carrots, and celery in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3.Roast the bones and vegetables for 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
4.Fill a large pot with water and add the roasted bones and vegetables, bouquet garni, finely chopped onion, finely chopped carrot, and finely chopped celery.
5.Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally to skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
6.Strain the broth and discard the solids, then return the broth to the pot.
7.In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté mushrooms until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
8.Add tomato, red wine, and chopped parsley to the mushrooms, then let simmer until the liquid has reduced by half.
9.In a small bowl, whisk together flour and red wine or madeira to create a slurry.
10.Slowly whisk the slurry into the strained broth, then add the mushroom mixture to the pot.
11.Simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes, taste and season with salt and pepper as needed, then serve warm over your favorite meats or vegetables.
