Whether paired with steak, roast beef, or vegetables, this versatile sauce adds a restaurant-quality touch to your dish.

Ingredients Needed:

• 15g unsalted butter
• ½ tbsp sunflower oil
• 2 shallots peeled and chopped finely
• 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
• 1 tsp plain (all-purpose) flour
• 120 ml red wine
• 180 ml beef stock water
• ¼ tsp pepper
• any oils
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, optional

How To Make Red Wine Jus Recipe?

1. Heat butter and oil : Add the butter and sunflower oil to a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
2. Sauté shallots : Once the butter has melted, add the finely chopped shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
3. Add garlic : Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
4. Mix in flour : Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and garlic, then stir and cook for another 30 seconds.
5. Add liquids : Stir in the red wine, followed by the beef stock. Season with half the salt and pepper.
6. Simmer to thicken : Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces by one-third and thickens.
7. Add pan drippings (optional) : If you’ve cooked steak, stir in any leftover drippings or oils from the pan. Let the sauce bubble for a few seconds, then remove from heat.
8. Finish with thyme and seasoning : Stir in fresh thyme leaves and taste for seasoning. Add the remaining salt and pepper as needed.

Recipe Tips:

• Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose a good red wine and fresh thyme to enhance the flavor of the jus. Avoid cooking wine as it can taste sour.
• Don’t Skip the Drippings: If you’re cooking steak, add the meat drippings to the sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
• Cook the Shallots Properly: Make sure the shallots soften without browning, as burnt shallots can make the sauce bitter.
• Simmer to the Right Consistency: Allow the jus to reduce by one-third for a thick, rich sauce that clings to your food.
• Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Always taste the sauce before serving and adjust the salt and pepper as needed for the perfect balance.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the Red Wine just to room temperature, then put it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Let the jus cool fully, then freeze it in a sealed container for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Warm it slowly in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
