Tips
- Thickness of the sauce: The sauce is thickened by the flour, a sandwich, and the boiling down. Still not enough? Then add cold dark roux (purchased or homemade).
- Sweetness of the sauce: Make the sauce sweeter by using dark sugar or maple syrup.
- Beer choice: This recipe used Pied Boeuf dark table beer, which already gives a sweet touch. Other dark beers are also suitable, but note that each beer gives its own specific flavor (sweet/bitter) to the sauce!
- Carrots and mushrooms: Maybe not part of the original recipe but I like it.
