2.Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

3.Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4.Pour in the red wine and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half.

5.Add the beef broth and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

6.Stir in the fresh thyme and rosemary, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

7.Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter until melted and the sauce is glossy.

8.Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture, or leave it as is for a rustic feel.

9.Serve the sauce warm over your perfectly cooked steak.
