Instructions
- Caramelize Shallots and Beef: Roughly cut shallots and place them in a pan. Add thyme and bay leaf. Cook on high heat to caramelize the shallots and beef, extracting maximum flavor.
- Add Garlic and Herbs: Add garlic cloves and place hard herbs on top. Keep the heat on high.
- Add and Reduce Red Wine: Pour in the red wine and reduce it down until almost all liquid evaporates.
- Add Stocks and Simmer: Turn heat down slightly. Add 250 ml dark chicken stock and 600 ml reduced beef stock. Bring to a simmer to emulsify and blend flavors.
- Finish and Season: Squeeze out all flavors from the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Emulsify with Butter: Add a few cubes of cold butter and emulsify into the sauce to give it a nice gloss and rich texture.
