4 servings
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 ½ cups dry red wine (such as cabernet sauvignon or côtes du rhône)
- 1 ½ cups beef stock
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will taste lighter and less meaty; a mushroom-rich vegetable broth gives the closest beefy flavor. - 1 tsp tomato paste
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the foam subsides. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 2
Add the thyme sprig, bay leaf, and red wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer. Cook until the wine has reduced by about two-thirds and the liquid is syrupy and concentrated, 12–15 minutes.
