Ultimate Au Jus Sauce

4 tablespoons butter or beef drippings

1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour (gluten free: use GF all-purpose flour) *this is just enough flour to give the texture a nice mouth feel without thickening it

½ cup dry red wine

2 cups quality beef broth or stock

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 shallot , finely minced (or 3 tablespoons finely minced red onion)

1 clove garlic , minced

2 teaspoons beef broth base (e.g. beef granules, paste, bouillon cube)

½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 sprigs fresh thyme (recommended for best flavor but if needed can substitute ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves)

2 teaspoons ground dried porcini mushrooms (HIGHLY recommended for the ULTIMATE flavor and umami boost! If using dried porcini pieces grind them in spice/coffee grinder, blender, or pound to a powder in a ziplock bag)
