  • Stir in 2 minced cloves of garlic and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in 1 cup of red wine and raise heat to bring to a simmer, reducing by half over 10–15 minutes.
  • Lower heat and stir in 1 cup of beef broth, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard along with 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme and 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary.
  • Allow to simmer gently for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened to preferred consistency.
  • Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve for smoother texture if desired.
  • Whisk in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until melted. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm over cooked steak or keep warm for later use to elevate any dish.

Notes

For the best results, choose a quality red wine and allow the sauce to simmer fully for deep flavors. Adjust the seasoning before serving.
