1 1/2 Tbsp. All Purpose Flour

1/2 Cup Red Wine

2 Cups Beef Broth

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 Shallot, finely minced

In a skillet, add the butter or beef fat drippings. Add the shallots, garlic, and saute for 3-4 minutes.

Whisk in the flour until it is incorporated and simmer for 1 minute. Add the red wine and whisk constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer for about 2 minutes (the mixture will thicken). Whisk in the beef broth and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add the remaining ingredients, return the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to a slow simmer, and simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes. The liquid will reduce.

Remove from heat and discard thyme sprigs. Serve along side the philly french dip sandwich. Enjoy!
