Method

Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Shallots

    In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until they are translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Deglaze with Red Wine

    Pour in the red wine and increase the heat to high. Bring to a boil and let it reduce by half, approximately 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Beef Stock

    Add the beef stock to the saucepan and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. 4

    Season and Finish

    Stir in the thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining butter and lemon juice until smooth.
