To prepare gravy, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1/2 teaspoon thyme, mushrooms, and 4 garlic cloves; cook 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak works really well with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon.

Matanzas Creek Alexander Valley Merlot
A medium purple color. Flavors of satsuma plum, dark chocolate covered raspberries, and allspice aromas primarily. On the palate, this is a classic Merlot with good concentration. It is savory and medium bodied with velvety tannins. Homemade cherry pie tart and sandal wood aromas are perceived easily when tasting.
