Instructions

  1. 1 Cut tops off garlic bulbs. Place bulbs on a clean working surface; press down firmly on bulbs with the flat part of a large knife to separate cloves. Remove and discard skins.
  2. 2 Pour oil into a very small pot; add garlic cloves and thyme. Cook over medium heat until bubbles start to form. Reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting, and cook until garlic is soft but not brown, 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the cloves. Let cool to room temperature, 15 to 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Transfer mixture to a sterilized jar, then seal and refrigerate.

Instructions

  1. 1 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, carrots, celery, peppercorns, and cloves in melted butter until onions are browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Stir flour into the onion mixture; cook and stir until the flour is completely moistened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stream beef broth into the skillet while stirring the onion mixture; cook, stirring continually, until the broth thickens into a gravy, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water to thin the gravy as needed to keep it from becoming paste-like.
  3. 3 Stir 1 tablespoon parsley into the gravy; continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the parsley imparts flavor to the gravy, 5 to 10 minutes; strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean saucepan. Discard vegetables.
  4. 4 Place the saucepan over low heat. Season sauce with salt, pepper, and most of the remaining parsley. Stir red wine into the sauce.
  5. 5 Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms in hot oil until completely tender, about 5 minutes. Stir mushrooms into the sauce; garnish with remaining parsley after spooning over steaks.

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add sliced garlic. Cook and stir for about 30 seconds before adding basil leaves.

  3. 3 Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture simmers and the tomatoes have completely collapsed and liquefied. Turn off the heat.
  4. 4 Using a strainer or colander, strain the sauce into another pot, pressing everything through with the back of a ladle or spatula, until nothing is left in the colander except the skins and seeds.
  5. 5 Place strained sauce back over medium heat and reduce to about 5 cups, or until desired thickness. Taste for seasoning and use immediately, or store in an airtight container until needed.
