Reduce your veal stock (brown) by half, to obtain a demi-glace.

Peel and finely chop a shallot (for the sauce), the others cut them only on their length (burnt shallots).
Shallot sauce

Sauce In a saucepan, brown the chopped shallot, once translucent, deglaze with the red wine (e.g. Cahors), let it reduce almost to dryness. Moisten with the demi-glace, once a nice boil is obtained, lower the heat and let it reduce 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

Burnt Shallot In a hot frying pan with olive oil, place the shallot halves inside the pan. Add a knob of butter and the sprigs of thyme. The shallots will brown, lower the heat slightly to confir them. Once tender, remove them from the pan. When ready to serve, use a flashlight to burn them on the surface.
