Aarón Sánchez x Williams Sonoma Ancho Malbec Braising Sauce

FLAVOR PROFILE

• Smooth, velvety, smoky, chiles, red wine

WHY WE LOVE IT

• Explore the authentic flavors of Mexico with award-winning chef, Food Network star and third-generation cookbook author Aarón Sánchez. Crafted exclusively for us, his time-saving sauces and seasonings make it easy to expand your culinary horizons. This silky sauce is a subtly smoky blend of ancho chiles, red wine and tomatoes. It's expertly slow-simmered with beef stock and spices to create complex depth and the velvety texture of a mole. Just brown beef short ribs, add the sauce, and braise in the oven or slow-cooker until fork-tender. The sauce also makes a delicious base for chili and stew, and a great finishing sauce for tacos and enchiladas.
