How to Make Red Wine Herb And Onion Gravy

Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add 2 large red onions, thinly sliced, and 2 cloves of garlic, minced.
Gently fry for 15-20 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onions are very soft and caramelized.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, mixing thoroughly to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef stock, ensuring no lumps form.
Pour in 1 cup of dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), continuing to stir constantly.
Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately over your favorite bangers and mash.
