- 300 ml hot water
- 1 sprig fresh thyme or rosemary
- Salt and black pepper to taste

- 1 pinch sugar (for sweetness, if desired)
- 1 teaspoon butter (for extra creaminess)

Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Shallots: Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a frying pan over low heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and cook for about 2 minutes until softened.
- Step 2: Add Garlic and Vinegar: Add the finely chopped garlic and 1 teaspoon of red Grape juice vinegar to the pan, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 3: Add the Beef Broth: Replace the red Grape juice by adding 200 ml beef broth and a sprig of thyme or rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Step 4: Make the Stock: In a separate container, dissolve 1 beef stock cube or pot in 300 ml of hot water. Pour the beef stock into the pan with the shallots and garlic.
- Step 5: Season the Sauce: Bring the mixture back to a boil, then simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Step 6: Optional Enhancements:.
- Step 7: For sweetness, stir in a pinch of sugar.
- Step 8: For a creamier texture, add 1 teaspoon of butter at the end of cooking.
- Step 9: Strain or Serve as Is: You can serve the sauce with the shallots and garlic left in, or for a smoother sauce, strain the mixture through a sieve.
- Step 10: Enhance with Meat Juices: If you’ve cooked meat in another pan, add the jus to the pan to deglaze and absorb any leftover juices, enhancing the flavor.
- Step 11: Thicken the Sauce (Optional): For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornflour with an equal amount of water, add to the jus, and bring to a boil. Simmer until the desired thickness is achieved.
- Step 12: Enjoy this rich, flavorful jus over your favorite meats!
