I don’t recall ever seeing this "sauce pauvre homme" (poor-man’s) sauce in a modern cookbook. In "La Cuisiniere" it was suggested that the sauce be used for a reheated, leftover roast or boiled beef, but I thought it would work equally well over a freshly sauteed steak. Of course then it may have to be relabeled a “rich man’s” sauce. The optional butter added at the end to improve the mouth feel of the sauce was not part of the original recipe.
