circa 1994, from Chef Blake Machamer, UCLA. Quick and easy, wonderful on chateaubriand or other red meat. Note: don't use the cheap balsamic, this need the real thing, fully aged and rich. Ingredients:
2 cups balsamic vinegar |
4 ounces chilled butter, cubed |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the balsamic to a simmer. 2. Reduce by 2/3. 3. Swirl in the butter, one chunk at a time, until fully blended. 4. The sauce should have a very smooth, velvety consistency and a nice sheen. 5. Serve immediately. |
