How to Make Red Wine Jus Gravy

  1. Mince 2 cloves of garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  2. Add 2 cups of good quality red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), 1 cup of beef or lamb stock, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, or until it has reduced to about 1/3 of its original volume and has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally.
  4. (Optional but recommended) For added depth of flavor, finely chop 1/2 a carrot, 1/4 of a medium onion, and a few stalks of celery (or 1/4 cup of leek). Add these vegetables to the gravy during the last 10 minutes of simmering.
  5. Strain the jus through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl to remove any solids. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (you might want to add a pinch of salt).
  6. Serve the red wine jus gravy hot, generously spooned over your roasted beef or lamb and your favorite roast vegetables. Consider adding caramelized onions for an extra layer of flavor!
