Instructions 

  • Set a Dutch oven over medium heat.

  • Stir in the garlic, then stir in the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add tomato paste and stir to coat.

  • Remove thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine beef broth and cornstarch; whisk to combine.
  • Add the slurry to the Dutch oven; stir to combine.
  • Simmer for 2 to 4 more minutes, or until sauce is thickened.
