Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large saucepan, combine the beef stock, red wine, shallots, crushed black peppercorns, bay leaves, and fresh thyme. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Reduce Heat

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, which should take about 30-40 minutes.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    After the sauce has reduced, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean saucepan. Discard the solids and return the liquid to the heat.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Over low heat, whisk in the cold butter cubes, one at a time, until the sauce is smooth and glossy. Season with salt to taste.
