Salt & pepper, to taste
Preparation
In a small saucepan, combine red wine, shallots, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring mixture to a low boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until reduced by half way.
Add beef stock, bring to a boil, and reduce again. Simmer for another 15 minutes.
