Sauce Recipes

Yup the wine reduced to 30ml I tested with my measuring scoop! Maybe i must try different wine next time, tbh I'm not biggest fan of wine in general! It did taste good don't get me wrong but I found the wine just abit much, cheese flavour was good, just didn't like the under current of the wine! Would adding some shrooms work?

Sure they would. Just cook them beforehand on a very high heat to get some browning going on them. Also, salt them a little when frying but be careful because the sauce is full of flavour as it is. You don't want to overpower them, but a little salt on the mushrooms when you cook them high and fast does help draw out a little extra moisture, which you won't want in your sauce. You could always substitute the chicken stock for mushroom stock made from steeping dried mushrooms in water for an hour. Personally I'd mix half and half chicken and mushrooms stock...
 
I've always wanted to make my own home made sauces and last night I tried Black Pepper Sauce for the first time.

Would love if people can share similar recipes.

I didn't use exact measurements. Never really do.

Fry one finely chopped onion in butter until clear. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of crushed peppercorns and about 150ml Beef Stock.
Let it simmer for about 3 minutes then add about 100ml cream or full cream milk.
Let it reduce until desired thickness. Should be able to coat the back side of a table spoon.
You can add salt to taste but the beef stock already adds plenty of saltiness.

It was awesome! I had plenty of sauce left after eating it with steak so I took fresh bread and pigged out.

I add to that two tablespoons of spread cheese and a 40ml of brandy for about every 300ml of mushroom sauce i want to make.

The spurs and other steakhouses don't use packet sauces - they make their sauces with a roux, but they don't quite grasp the concept of gluten and fat so they tend to cock it up a little. It isn't a trainsmash, but the last I heard, they do use their own roux-based sauces. Other grill-spots like O Hagans and The Dros buy in their sauces in packets, pre-made in the samr roux-manner, but with a ton of other added preservatives which have very bitter compounds, so they have to add a ton of salt to remove the bitterness. And this all detracts from the actual flavour of the sauces...

Yeah, he's banned here and the CEO of a pretty successful ISP so I doubt he has time to make sauces for your restaurant. How about you hire a chef who is capable of doing that for you?
