Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 small shallots, finely minced
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
Instructions
In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the red wine and stir, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to simmer for 5 minutes, or until reduced by half.
Add the beef stock and thyme sprigs to the pan. Continue to simmer for another 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced by about half and thickened slightly.
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the thyme sprigs and any solids, then return it to the pan.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the cold, cubed butter, one piece at a time, until fully emulsified and the sauce has a glossy finish.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve immediately drizzled over your favorite steak.
