Instructions

Make the mignonette: stir together the red wine vinegar, minced shallot, coarsely ground black pepper, and salt in a small bowl until the salt dissolves. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the shallot softens and the flavors meld.

Make the cocktail sauce: stir together the ketchup, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using) in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
