Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Shallots
- 2, finely chopped
- Port wine
- 1 cup
- Beef or vegetable broth
- 1 cup
- Honey
- 1 tablespoon
- Fresh thyme
- 1 sprig
- Salt
- to taste
- Pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped shallots to the pan and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the port wine, stir well, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce the volume of the wine slightly and concentrate its flavors.
- Add the broth to the saucepan, followed by the honey, thyme sprig, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and take out the thyme sprig, discarding it.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. The sauce is now ready to serve over grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
Tips
- For best results, use a good quality port wine that you would enjoy drinking.
- The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Gently reheat it before using.
