Meanwhile, prepare the jus de cuisson: In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour in 200 ml water, add 1 beef stock cube, 1 sprig thyme, 1 bayleaf, 1 shallot minced and 1 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.
