Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 15 g unsalted butter
  • ½ Tbsp sunflower oil
  • 2 finely chopped shallots
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp plain flour

Liquids and Flavorings

  • 120 ml dry red wine
  • 180 ml beef stock
  • 1 fresh thyme sprig
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • Pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Oil: Heat 15 g unsalted butter and ½ tablespoon sunflower oil in a medium pan over medium heat until the butter has melted and the oil is hot.
  2. Sauté Shallots: Add the finely chopped shallots and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft but not browned.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of plain flour into the pan and stir continuously for 30 seconds to combine and cook off the raw flour taste.
  5. Add Red Wine: Pour in 120 ml of dry red wine, increase the heat to bring it to a boil, and cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly and deepen the flavor.
  6. Simmer with Stock and Seasonings: Add 180 ml beef stock, ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, and the fresh thyme sprig. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 12 to 15 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half, concentrating the flavors.
  7. Finish the Jus: Remove the thyme sprig from the pan. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of cold unsalted butter to add gloss and richness. Taste and season with a pinch of kosher salt as needed.
  8. Strain and Serve: Strain the jus through a fine sieve into a warm serving dish to remove solids, then serve immediately warm alongside your favorite beef dishes.

Notes

  • Use a good quality dry red wine for the best flavor.
  • Beef stock can be substituted with homemade or low-sodium stock for a healthier option.
  • Whisking in cold butter at the end gives the sauce a shiny finish and smooth texture.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
  • Straining ensures a smooth jus without any bits of shallots or garlic.
