1
Sauté Shallots
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until melted.
2
Add the Shallots
Add the finely chopped shallots to the saucepan. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until they become translucent and soft.
3
Deglaze with Red Wine
Pour in the red wine and increase the heat to medium-high. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a boil and let it reduce by half, about 10-15 minutes.
4
Incorporate Beef Stock
Once the wine has reduced, add the beef stock to the saucepan. Stir to combine and bring the mixture back to a boil.
5
Simmer the Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
6
Finish with Butter and Seasoning
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
7
Serve
Strain the sauce if desired, or serve as is with your favorite meat dishes. Enjoy your homemade red wine demi!
