It makes me happy to see that the Bonne Mamman jam experience (and jar reusing) is international.

Glory Hallelujah! Perfected complex sauce on simply seared steak = Orgasmic taste.

[blamtasticful]

Now I just have to make homemade brown stock...

[brooklynvlogs]

I always make that for beef Wellington and it's delicious.

Can you try the le relais de l'entrecote green sauce???

[cmbrky]

In home kitchen thats the way ı do. Its really hard to store stocks ın fridge because ı have relatively small one so ı am reducing it to almost 200-300ml left and then making ice cubes with it. When ı need ım just adding water.

[hardrout]

tried it and recommending it ! Alex rocking it like usual <3

[RadDadisRad]

That looks great. I bet you could taste a little spoon of that sauce whenever you want to feel happy. 😂

[kalamir]

Looks great! But why not use the fond from the bottom of the pan the steak is fried in?

[Feelinggrapeofficial_]

I would add a tiny splash of port reduction.

Bergman ranked please - which of his films have you seen?

[thomasmiller]

You should try Detroit style Zip sauce sometime.

[BiggMo]

I believe my grandparents called that a clear gravy

[SagittarA]

[AutoFirePad]

What does the meat taste?
Steak sauce

[spyrule]

It tastes great, but much closer to an au-jus then an actual bbq sauce.

[konkelkent]

[juanpablomartinez]

You can substitute the butter for waygu fat, and tell me about it later 😮
