Lobel's Recipe
Merlot Shallot Pan Sauce
Merlot wine is slowly simmered with rich beef or chicken broth, finely chopped shallots, and fresh thyme until reduced and deeply concentrated. Finished with butter for a smooth, glossy texture, the sauce develops a velvety consistency—delivering a bold, savory flavor with subtle wine-forward depth, perfect for enhancing steaks and other roasted meats.
