Beurre Rouge

Instructions

  • 1. In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine wine, vinegar, shallot, marjoram, chile flakes, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, and cook until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean, small saucepan over low heat.
  • 2. Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding next piece just before previous one has been completely incorporated. Continue until all butter has been incorporated and sauce coats the back of a spoon. Remove pan from heat periodically to prevent sace from separating. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
