4 servings
For the sauce
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 2 medium shallots, finely minced
- 1 cup dry red wine (such as cabernet sauvignon or côtes du rhône)
- 1 cup low-sodium 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 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
For finishing
- 2 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into 4 piecesChef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
- salt and pepper, to taste
For serving
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, for serving (optional)
