Follow The Directions

01

Step
30 mins

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant (approximately 30 seconds).

02

Step
5 hrs

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and have released their moisture (about 5 minutes).

03

Step
20 hrs

Pour in the Cabernet Sauvignon and beef broth. Add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce has reduced by about 1/4 (approximately 20 minutes).

04

Step
0 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth. This creates a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce.

05

Step
2 hrs 30 mins

Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (2 to 3 minutes). Be sure to stir constantly to prevent scorching.

06

Step
0 mins

Remove the skillet from the heat and discard the bay leaf before serving.

For a deeper, more complex flavor, consider using a mix of mushroom varieties such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
This sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently over low heat. Add a splash of beef broth if it becomes too thick.
Pair this sauce with grilled filet mignon, ribeye steak, or roasted pork tenderloin.
