Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 small, finely chopped Shallots
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 250 ml Red wine
- 500 ml Beef stock
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0 to taste Salt

Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and the bay leaf. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the red wine and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, which should take about 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Add the beef stock to the saucepan, stir well, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for another 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Gradually add this to the saucepan while whisking constantly to thicken the gravy.
Step 7
Season the jus with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf before serving.
Step 8
Strain the gravy through a fine mesh sieve if you want a smoother consistency.
Step 9
Serve warm over roasted meats, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
