Madeira Sauce is a brown, wine sauce that is predominantly made from Madeira wine. There are other variations of this sauce, depending on the dishes that the sauce is accompanying. Just by adding mushrooms, you have a delicious mushroom sauce to serve with steaks or other meat dishes. Add extra peppercorns for “au Poivre”. Madeira sauces are typically used to complement meats, stews, and savoury dishes.
