Meanwhile, prepare the jus de cuisson: In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour in 100 ml water, add ½ beef stock cube, ½ sprig thyme, ½ bayleaf, ½ shallot minced and ½ garlic clove.
Don't add salt, as the stock cube is already very salty, but add pepper, bring to the boil and reduce by about half.
