Sauce Chasseur is a composite sauce as it is made with Sauce Espagnole as a base. I have served Sauce Chasseur with game, which tends to be very lean, such as venison, rabbit, partridge or pheasant dishes. In addition to game, the sauce really dresses up the more common pork and beef tenderloins, and is equally good with venison loin and tenderloin.
