Preparation Method:

The Red Wine Jus
Roughly chop the shallots and coat with olive oil.

Add the herbs.
Reduce by half.
Add the beef stock and bring back to the boil.
Reduce by at least half.
Put through a fine sieve and return to a clean pan.
Heat and add butter just before serving.

To make this perfect for accompanying venison:
Once the jus is in the clean pan, add two large dessert spoons of redcurrant jelly and heat until it dissolves.
In a separate frying pan, cook some Forestiere mushrooms in a minimum amount of oil until browned and cooked.
Add the jus to the frying pan and bring to a simmer.
Serve separately with the venison.
