  3. Pour in the red wine and allow it to simmer gently, reducing by half for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and rosemary. Stir over medium heat until well combined.
  5. Continue to simmer for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve if desired.
  7. Whisk in the unsalted butter until melted, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve the sauce hot over your favorite cooked steak or store it for later use.
