Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups sliced button mushrooms
1 ½ cups Cabernet Sauvignon
1 cup beef broth
1 bay leaf
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add wine and beef broth and cook until sauce has reduced to about 3/4 of the original volume, about 20 minutes.
