Instructions

Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add 2 cups of sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Introduce the shallots, cooking and stirring until they become translucent. Incorporate ½ cup of chopped mushrooms and cook until soft. Stir in the red wine, thyme, and bay leaf, simmering until the sauce reduces slightly, approximately 1 minute.
Dissolve the arrowroot in 1/4 cup of cold beef broth. Stir the remaining broth into the sauce, bringing it to a boil. Whisk in the arrowroot mixture, stirring until it thickens. Add the reserved mushrooms. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
