Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped shallot
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 cup low-sodium beef stock
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic to the melted butter. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the shallot becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 3
Pour in the dry red wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Add the low-sodium beef stock to the saucepan, followed by the chopped fresh thyme, black pepper, and salt.
Step 5
Bring the sauce back to a simmer and let it reduce until it thickens slightly, approximately 5 minutes.
Step 6
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the sauce reaches your desired thickness, about 3 minutes.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 8
Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve into a serving dish to remove the shallot and thyme pieces, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm over your choice of meat or vegetables.
