1
Prepare the Shallots
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2
Add Red Wine
Pour in the 2 cups of red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
3
Simmer the Sauce
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and add the beef stock and fresh thyme. Let the sauce simmer for about 20 minutes, or until it has reduced by half. Stir occasionally.
4
Season the Sauce
After the sauce has reduced, season it with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
5
Finish with Crème Fraîche
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the crème fraîche until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6
Serve
Serve the marchand de vin sauce warm over your choice of meat or vegetables.
