So, I have been craving some sliced beef and normanaj normanaj last week post pushed me over the ledge and I just had to have it!

Picked up a couple "Eye's" for the craving!

On to the gravy.... Started with a whole onion, shallot, and clove of garlic... in a pot with some oil to brown them. Once they started browning, I also added a bit of butter for caramelization...

once nice and brown, I added 1/2 C red wine, 3Tbsp Soy, 2 Tbsp woster, 1 Tbsp beef base (better than bouillon) and reduced that down.... Then added 3 C beef stock, 1 C chicken bone broth, some salt pepper, and a sprig of fresh thyme and rosemary.... light boiled for 45 mins then screen strained and thickened with a starch slurry

Bingo both pulled at INT 135 and rusting in 140 degree oven...shooting for a uniform INT of 140.
