How to Make Bordelaise Sauce With Mushrooms

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots. Cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 pound of sliced cremini mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms soften, about 5 minutes.
Pour in 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon), and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
Add 1 bay leaf and 2 sprigs of fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low, season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the sauce slightly reduces and thickens.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Spoon generously over your favorite steak, roast, or burger.
