Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 small, finely chopped Shallots
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 cup Dry red wine
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely.
Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh rosemary sprigs, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the red wine and beef stock, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by half.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Slowly whisk the slurry into the saucepan to thicken the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the rosemary sprigs and discard them. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the sauce from heat, strain through a fine-mesh sieve if desired for a smoother texture, and serve warm drizzled over steak.
