How to Make Red Wine Sauce
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned.
- Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
- Add the beef broth (or chicken broth). Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to develop flavor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth.
- Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce. Continue to whisk constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
- Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in fresh thyme leaves (if using).
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately over your favorite protein.
