Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • ½ cup mirepoix carrots, onions, celery
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour for roux
  • ½ cup dry white wine optional
  • 1 sprig rosemary optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mirepoix:

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine chopped carrots, onions, and celery. Sauté in butter over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.

Make the Roux:

  • Add flour to the mirepoix and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until it forms a thick paste and turns light golden.

Add the Stock:

  • Gradually pour in the chicken and beef stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Simmer and Reduce:

  • Add the rosemary (if using), and let the sauce simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The sauce should reduce by half and thicken to a rich, glossy consistency.

Strain the Sauce:

  • Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solid bits of mirepoix. Discard the solids and return the liquid to the pot.

Finish and Season:

  • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. For extra richness, you can stir in a little more butter at this stage.

Serve or Store:

  • Use immediately over meats or vegetables, or store in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge or freeze for longer storage.
