Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped onion until soft and translucent for about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour red wine into the saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing it to reduce by half for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and rosemary. Stir well to incorporate.
  5. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until it thickens.

  7. Whisk in unsalted butter until melted and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot over your favorite cooked steak or keep warm for later use.
