Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium shallots
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups red wine
- 1 cup beef broth
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the shallots and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic to the oil. Sauté until the shallots become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the red wine and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Add the beef broth, fresh thyme sprigs, bay leaf, black pepper, and sea salt to the saucepan.
Step 6
Let the sauce simmer until it reduces by half, approximately 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry.
Step 8
Slowly whisk the arrowroot slurry into the reduced sauce to thicken it. Allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove the thyme sticks and bay leaf.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm over your favorite Paleo-friendly dishes.
