Grandma's Secret Trick

To give the sauce a "French restaurant" flavor, Grandma sometimes used white wine instead of the beef broth. She didn't allow the mixture to boil after adding the cream, as the wine caused the sauce to curdle when boiled. She just heated the mixture gently over low heat until it was hot, then removed the skillet from the heat.
