Low Carb Entrecote à la Bordelaise. 3 Total Carbs " Sauce only"

Entrecote à la Bordelaise. In France this preparation is a sirloin or rib steak pan seared or grilled and topped with this red wine and shallot reduction sauce that is enriched with poached beef bone marrow . But even without the bone marrow this sauce is off the chain good !. Being a pure reduction naturally low in carbs and frankly in my opinion the best sauce for steak in the world !
