6 whole shallots
6 cloves of garlic
4 tablespoons of butter
Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
1 cup of red wine
1 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar
red pepper flakes, small pinch of
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Peel outer paper skin from shallots and trim the roots off leaving the end intact to hold it together. Cut them into quarters lengthwise.

In a large ovenproof pan, melt half of the butter then add the shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes then place the pan in the oven for 30 minutes. Toss half way through.

Remove the pan from the oven and place it on the stove top. Add the rest of the butter and wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 6 minutes until thickened. Add brown sugar, red pepper flakes and thyme. Cook for just 1 more minute until thick. Serve poured over steaks.
