Sauce Poivrade
A sauce made of beef stock, vinegar, onions, & carrots - contributed by Rebecca A. C. Smith
  • 3 quarts cider vinegar
  • 2 gallons beef stock
  • 12 lbs onions, peeled & finely minced
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled & finely minced
  • 1 lb butter
  • 8 oz peppercorns, crushed
Saute onions and carrot in butter until soft. Add stock and vinegar and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add peppercorns and simmer for 15 minutes more. Arresty recommends straining it before serving, but I thought it would be more interesting as is. Makes a bit more than 3 1/2 gallons sauce.
