In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, stirring to combine with the garlic and butter.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme, and the bay leaf.
Let it continue to simmer gently for 10-15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully strain the liquid into a bowl to remove solids like thyme and bay leaf.
Season with salt and pepper to suit your taste preferences.
Serve warm alongside your preferred beef dishes.
