Low Carb Bordelaise Sauce

You’re going to look at the ingredients in this recipe and think to yourself, Deborah has seriously flipped her lid on this one.  Heavy cream & white wine DO NOT a dark gravy make, because those in the know, know that a Bordelaise is made with a red wine and beef stock.  But um, as you can see this is not a truism set in stone.  Look at the picture carefully because that gravy is as dark as anything you could want.  The secret is…the paprika.  Now you say, will that would make it red but nope it doesn’t, it makes it brown.  One can only hope the pictures say it all.  A small filet mignon which is the steak under the sauce is normally used but any good quality steak cut will serve you well.  If you think this sounds good you might try it on a Chicken Fried Steak because yes, it is that good.

Notes
  1. Steak not included in nutritionals, it's just the sauce.
  2. I originally used Shiitake mushrooms but they are so high in carbs I have changed the recipe to reflect using button mushrooms. If you want to use the Shiitakes then please do so and I have given the nutritionals for both.
  3. If you thicken your sauce a bit too much just add a little more water.
