    Preparation Steps

    1

    Finely chop the onion and garlic.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

    3

    Sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, until translucent.

    4

    Add the fresh rosemary and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.

    5

    Pour in the red wine and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.

    6

    Add the vegetable broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey, then stir to combine.

    7

    Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.

    8

    Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce is creamy.

    9

    If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk the cornstarch with cold water, then pour it into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

    10

    Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.

    Before serving, strain the sauce for a smooth texture. Serve warm with roasted meats, fish, or vegetables.
