Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
If using fresh blackberries, rinse them under cold water and drain. If using frozen blackberries, ensure they are thawed.
- 2
Sauté Shallots
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Blackberries and Port
Add the blackberries to the saucepan along with the port wine. Stir gently and cook for about 5 minutes until the blackberries have softened.

Add Beef Stock
Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, reducing the sauce until it thickens slightly.

Strain the Sauce
Once reduced, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

Finish the Sauce
Return the strained sauce to the heat. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
