  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups beef stock, chicken stock, or a combination of the two
  • 1/2 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, a few sprigs of fresh thyme, OR 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
