Notes

Enhance the sauce’s richness by stirring in a teaspoon of Dijon mustard before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze the sauce separately for later use. Experiment with different vegetables in the purée, and don’t forget to salt the beef before searing for deeper flavor.
